Time for some "change" perhaps?

This is just weird.

Don't see what fried foods has to do with being or not being green. Seems snobbish to me.

The only advantage I see is not having the possible fire hazard, the greasy environment and possible flatulence that sometimes follows - although this place will be full of politicians, you might not notice.

MD - as in maryland? It had southern sympathies during the civil war. Some marylanders tried to kill lincoln on his way to his inauguration in dc.

No fried clams? monstrous.

I guess that's one of the differences between the parties.

Yea, Republicans give you the choice to eat healthy if you want. The Democrats force you to eat healthy.

Yet some how people claim that the Republicans are the ones taking away our freedoms?

Admittedly, the irony here is that fried food (prepared properly and eaten in moderation) is perfectly healthy and AFAIK perfectly green.

Sigh...

Seriously, Denver and Minneapolis have been in this odd battle about which is going to have the greener convention. It's silly, and I see the silliness has finally culminated. The Libertarians joked they if they really wanted it green, they hold it virtually/online.

I know you're joking here but this is a perfect example of why I don't like to talk to republicans. They'll use arguments like this with a straight face.

Both sides will take away our rights and freedoms as they can. Note, not "if" they can, "as" they can. They're constantly picking away at them.

I define a 'hack' as someone who thinks it's only happening from one side, while fully supporting it from the other. PJ fits that definition better than anyone else here IMO. Not because he's the worst at it, mind you, but because I know that he knows what he's doing.

Oh yeah? Being dead never stopped people from voting democratic before.

Is grape drank soda being served?

I believe they'll be serving what is known as "purple drink," though it's a nice contract to the RNC convention where they'll be serving Moxie, the most vile drink ever and preferred by all antediluvians world-wide.

You're making a fool of yourself by comparing the menu at a Democratic Party event with the illegal wiretapping of the US public at the order of the President.

However, you are providing information on some of the problems with your politics at the same time. Start with the dishonest straw man you use for the Democratic Party.

It unwittingly shows how little you have to attack about when you make such a weak post. Are you now going to say you were kidding?

ZING... I laughed lol.. Terrible, but I laughed.

Eh, good for the dems though.

Best way to encourage healthier eating habits is to lead by example.

In fact, usually one of the best ways to encourage anything you believe in is to personally live up to those expectations. So good work to the Dems on this.

Fire hazard? you libs will come up with anything to justify your actions, won't you. This has got to be one of the silliest things I have ever heard, probably right behind the mandated race quota for the 2000 Democrat Convention.
