I didn't watch any of the pre-show coverage. The convention itself is about all I can stomach.

everything else so far was taped.

They also all gave their speeches in front of the exact same backdrop.

Which makes it even more boring.

That’s not such a bad thing.

The current nonsense ... the coronavirus is not a big deal—go on with your life and go back to work ... is downright dangerous and lethal.

But why be surprised. These people don't care about other's lives.

They murdered Herman Caine for a failed Tulsa "rally."
