The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is coming to my area. This is a good thing, I’m told, because they’ll bring money to hotels, restaurants, brothels and convenience stores. Money, in an economy that is supposed to be so bad that the wealthy keep getting wealthier and the poor keep getting poorer, will help keep the poor wealthier and the wealthy hiring. I’m not much for politics any more, not since I figured out that politics is about man’s solution to man’s problems without ignoring man’s real problem. However, its nice that they’re coming to the Denver metro area as well because our roadways are designed for slightly less people than currently drive them, and the new crowds of drivers will help keep the price of gas high as gas station owners have figured out that they can pretty much charge as much as they want and we’re a captive audience. I think that’s a mixed metaphor.
There are some genuinely good reasons to have them in town and one of them is that a reader of this very blog will more than likely come into town to support her husband who will more than likely rule the world before its all said and done, and I’d like to have him in my pocket be in his pocket have the right connections. The financial impact that is suspected to come with this national convention is roughly $160,000,000.00 in currency influx. They’re expecting a huge crowd at the Bronco stadium (branded Invesco field) for B. Obama’s acceptance speech. Big money, big names, and they bring them in with enough people to populate the town I grew up in. Which, if it were to be receiving the Democratic Nation Convention, would self implode. Lets hope that the Dems bring money, but its not debt money, we don’t need that in Denver, Colorado or the US Government
