DENVER -- As the Mile High City gears up to host a Democratic bash for
50,000, organizers are discovering the perils of trying to stage a political
spectacle that's also politically correct.
Consider the fanny packs.
The host committee for the Democratic National Convention wanted 15,000
fanny packs for volunteers. But they had to be made of organic cotton. By
unionized labor. In the USA.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

On November 4, I'm voting: Straight Republican. Totally Republican. 100%
Republican. Only Republican. All Republican. Nothing but Republican.
Thoroughly Republican. Completely Republican.
