The dancing convention cops of Charlotte
Charlotte, N.C. — We haven’t finished Day Two at the Democratic National Convention, and everyone’s already getting a bit punchy. Below is some iPhone video that Lori Geary of Channel 2 Action News shot of a dancing Clayton County sheriff’s deputy, directing traffic.
Geary swears he gave his name as Michael Jackson:
Below is more video, via YouTube, of more officers busting moves. At least one is from Clayton County:

If you had the Clayton County Sheriff-Elect there, he could show everybody how to do the perp walk

Beats the bordom of standing still in one spot flailing your arms about. At least gives them a little enjoyment in a job that seems to range from dangerous to dreary.

As usual, another vapid and non-interesting articles from the Left! Jim, you’re not going to bring out your “Galloway Flies” with simple chit-chat like this! C’mon! Write something that they can sink their rancid, spewing rhetoric into. If it doesn’t demean the Republicans, it just wont “fly” (pun intended) with these folks. Where is Anit-Christ when when we need her?

At the DNC, nobody can locate Bill Clinton, so there’s an all out search for Sandra Fluke.

[I guess I asked this question on the wrong blogJim (or anyone else for that matter):
Did the Democrats have the “Debt Clock” on display for their convention? I didn’t watch and couldn’t see anything in the AJC where it was but thought you would know.

As usual YOU LIE

Is lying the way you go through life or just your blog persona?

Speaking of hollow-brained idiots, What is the correct pronunciation of MS Fluke’s last name? Is the “uke” like the “uke” in Ukulele, or is it Fluck as in, uh, well,…uh, “duck?”

Yod don’t say @ 5.25p;
Yes sir, that FactCheck.Org is the one to verify and be fair about it. Click on this URL and get the story about the organization that runs FactCheck: Annenberg Pubic Policy Center. Read about it’s sponsors, officers and what it has published in the past and then tell me with a straight face if you stand behind telling someone he LIES! I didn’t read into it any further than Bill Ayers but I would place a sizable bet that George Soros is in the mix somewhere. Yes, Soros, the world-class socialist

And you refuted the link how? Well, one doesn’t need ESP or some other mind-enhancing techniques. Just read the article that exposes Annenberg and you will see that FactCheck is a far-left blog. I’ve seen articles from them on several occasions. Yeah, that’s the way to be fair and balanced, brainless one.

You bought the BS. Look closely at what they said “court sealed”. Of course they are not court sealed but Obama sure has done a great deal to make sure they are not released to the public. Here is one article about the subject back in 08. There are others if you have the intellectual curiosity to go and look.

Esp enhances the mind?! That would explain why my psychic is so smart. She told me that both sides are bad and I’ve been converted to the ways of centrism ever since! The center CAN hold!
And I didn’t know factcheck.org was an extremist organization. Good thing we have neutral reports like Rasmussen and Breitbart to keep the extremes like firedog lake and redstate.com at bay!
Both sides are bad and are so mean! Why can’t we trust our mainstream media any more?
If we can’t trust big corporations made free by the free market, who can we trust?
Both sides are soooo bad! We need to show them how to behave by staying home and not voting.

What is Romney hiding? If I was interviewing him ( and I do job interviews ) he wouldn’t have a chance with his non-answers.

Well I will tell you what he is NOT hiding. He is NOT hiding the fact that Ann Romney was in the car with him when he put Shamus the dog on the roof. She did NOT suggest it. She did not laugh as the dog howled on top of the car and she most certainly did NOT laugh at her husband as he hosed himself off.

Also it is very VERY important that everyone know that Andrew Breitbart, Martyr to the truth exposed the fact, right before he died, that Obama’s birth certificate is a fake. Cc was kind enough to post this link for me which shows it quite clearly.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/17/Obama-pamphlet-in-use-2007
For those who can’t click the link, it essentially says that there was a biography on a voice mail company website in Alabama that was CHANGED from Kenya to Hawaii. I think President Obama owes America an apology.
Thanks CC!
You’re so smart.

Here’s more info from Associated Press:
Democrats have changed their convention platform to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
The move came after criticism from Republicans.
Many in the audience booed after the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, ruled that the amendments had been approved despite the fact that a large group of delegates objected.
He called for a vote three times before ruling.

Let’s do this: Swap Romney for bin Obama and let ME do the interviewing. Take this to the bank: bin Obama “…wouldn’t have a chance with his non-answers.”

Not very professional when you can’t get the name correct.
Let’s do this: Swap Romney for “bin Obama” You would not pass either!
