Convention Night Number Three: A Big Colorado-Style Welcome, With Menacing Cops

Howdy!In honor of National Security Night, sixteen billion riot police were deployed outside Pepsi Center. We saw some protesters, too! They had the usual “No blood for oil” type signs, and many were shirtless. So of course we took a picture of the boring old police. Your editor has perhaps the worst seat in the house tonight: BEHIND the stage. A big screen showing the proceedings is cleverly hidden behind a massive rack of lights. And all around, people bitch endlessly about their terrible view, how they can’t see or hear anything, and how there is NO SAVING SEATS, not even for old people who had the temerity to get up and go to the bathroom. Jesus Christ.

    If a PUMA can manage to steal one of those, she may complete all 12 vigilante missions and then she’ll have upgraded body armor for the assault on Invesco tomorrow. Will the Liberty City PD stop the PUMAs before they align with the Triads?

    You need that police truck in the stadium to get a good view. Go use your feminine wiles on them.

    First stage removal. First stage removal. Streets prohibited to non-permits in one hour. Streets prohibited to non-permits in one hour.

    Those sixty hippies in the freedom cage are gonna be so intimidated by a truckful of cops with a — um — a — portable balcony?

    That’s actually left over from last night’s planned PUMA demonstration. Turns out they didn’t use it since Madge Anderson, their leader, forgot her driver’s license in her other purse (the big one that her and Dennis picked up at the Grand Canyon two years ago). Oh well.

    Nice photo of Tbilisi.
    But why here?

    SayItWithWookies: Yup, that’s what the $50 mil for security went to. They have Kenny G inside the van. If they have to break up a crowd, up he goes.

    …where is Robocop and ED-209?!

  9. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:49 pm, August 27th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: …if the taxpayers paid 50 million for security then I want see some head busting damn it!

  10. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:57 pm, August 27th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Don’t underestimate the power of Kenny G’s alto sax.

  11. Hey there Slick. Haven’t seen you in a while.

    Gopherit v2.0:
    Doesn’t the Geneva Convention prohibit Kenny G torture?

    On a far less serious note, the meth-addicted, not-negro-so-much-liking, rifle-tottin’, sniper-scope ownin’ Biiters were given low bond after their arrest in Denver. “White boys just funnin’ around,” said Bush-appointee and former Republican Indian-casino lobbyist, Colorado US Attorney Troy Eid (rhymes with dicksipping).

  14. Bill just tied Obama to himself circa ‘92. “They said I was too young, too ineperienced, too full of fail. Well FUCK THEM!! I WAS THE BESTEST AND BLACKEST!! AND BARRY WILL BE SECOND-BESTEST!!!”

    Michells Brother was stuffing hubcaps in his trunk when that dam big Police Truck rolled up, scared him so bad he shit his pants.

  19. Scooter says at 5:09 am, August 28th, 2008

    And this one time, in Denver, there was this big black truck, and there was this big platform on top. And this one time, we took turns riding on it, and we wondered what it was for. And then this awesomest big black airplane pulled up, and we all saw what the truck was for then. And this one time, when we were on the plane, we flew it to the moon . . .

    Looks like the ObaMorons are STILL sweating the PUMAs. Those evil PUMA’s! Having the AUDACITY to actually HOPE for a vote count! Don’t those stupid people know that this is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY? People are NOT ALLOWED to vote in the Democratic Party. I’m a Floridian who had the AUDACITY to vote for Hillary (the AntiObama) and actually expect to have it COUNTED by someone! HA! How SILLY of me! I thought I was in America. But this is ObamaLand, where the ancient rules of tribal Africa still stand. Ballots? Ballots? Veee don’t need no shtinking ballots!!! We KNOW that EVERYONE loves Obama! There is no need for ballots! There is no need for roll calls! There is no need for an election! We all LOVE Obama! How could anyone not love Obama! He even sends chills up Chris Matthews leg! How silly. Who needs elections. Why doesn’t McCain just QUIT, like Hillary did?

    Anon124816: I’d love to grind you up and sprinkle you on my garden to keep my dogs from eating it.

    Away to me, Bitter!
