If one
thing really resonates when this many Republicans convene for a
circle jerk, it's what a bunch of fucking losers they are. Not under
the traditional definition; I'm sure that the ex-jocks, cigarette
boat owners, and other Neanderthals inside of the Tampa Bay Times
Forum think they're pretty sweet, and have spent much of their lives
maligning those who are socially awkward yet smart, kind, and
hilarious. Rather I'm talking about how the overwhelming majority of
GOP drones lack any real sense of humor or creative gusto; for proof
of this, one needs to simply think of how many ace comedians or
musical performers play for the red team. With that and the sad, sad
convention performance by Three Doors Down in mind, I thought it
could be fun to juxtapose what was happening inside of the Forum
yesterday with what was popping outside. I don't know about you, but
I'd rather laugh with Occupiers than cry with the taints.
