I have absolutely no desire to watch the RNC convention

I remember a few years ago when I had Netflix, they had 'The Human Centipede' available to stream online.

Not sure if you remember the premise of this movie but essentially it's some sick doctor who kidnapped some tourists and decided to create a massive human centipede by connecting the mouth of one human to the anus of another.

From time to time I like a good gory scare flick so I thought why not, I survived watching Hostel 1 & 2 so let's see what the big deal is about this movie.

Then, after 5 minutes of watching the movie I realized something - the only reason ANYONE wants to watch this movie is so they could watch a human forced to swallow the crap of another human. And honestly, that kinda stuff just doesn't interest me and I turned off the movie.

Well that kinda is how I feel about the RNC convention. For the next several days we're gonna watch the GOP feed these idiot followers a bunch of crap and the followers are gonna swallow it up. And two years later I still have no desire whatsoever to watch that!

It is about a canister of liquid Satan (I kid you not).

And of course I've got to watch Rubber, which is about a sentient tire that kills people.

Either way, I am sure it will be more edifying than watching the RNC Autofellatio Orgy.

Something tells me that the weather should be the least of Willard's concerns.

I will now picture them all pooping into each other's mouths. Perfect vision, really.

7. If this is the rise of an "official" nationalist, nativist, and fascist social movement...

then I think we're obligated to watch it and truly see it for what it is.

How many "birthers" are speaking?

Weknow that it's going to be 100% coded hatred and lies. When I peeked at the draft GOP platform that went out a few days ago, I didn't see a lot of traditional, moderate fiscal proposals. It was entirely far-right social agenda.

We can't put our heads in the sand about this.

There is nothing they will say I haven't heard already. There is nothing in their message that is positive for me and my life. NOTHING. Their party is worthless for me on the national/state level.

It's like watching a fairytale!
I have to watch! It's an election year and I want to know what these idiots are lying about so I can argue the points later.
