Poly Sci--Fi
Robert's Rules for Radicals was on display at the Improv stage, formerly known as the Democratic National Convention. When party leaders came to realize that the American people actually read and want to know what the Democratic platform does, and does not stand for, it was discovered that God and Jerusalem, among other things, had been "mysteriously" removed.
Under the divine leadership of Barack Obama, his acolyte Ted Strickland put on sack cloth and ashes and offered incense to amend for the "oversight." What happened next resembled an existentialist play with playschool theatre actors. The delegate commander called for vote after vote for two thirds support of the measure. Each additional call made it perfectly clear that the amendment wasn't welcome or two thirds supported. And then it passed anyway! It looked just like the passage of Obamacare. Democracy in action, Democratic party style.
Leave it to the Democrats to have a party, and not invite God. Then they feel like they may have offended some friends of God, so they ask permission for God to show up. When He arrives, the party members don't want Him there anyways, but He gets to come in and sit in the corner and just be quiet. Did you ever think any major US party would have to be concerned with offending the atheist vote?
With a surreal line--up that continued with Sister Progressive, those Bainfull innuendos, that birth control grad student, the Native American gourmet, and Mr. Don't you wish you were me, I had to check my gas stove to see if I had a nitrous oxide leak. The last DNC events begin with the court jester and end with the man behind the curtain. Enjoy the opening act side show, and pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
