Irony in wind and water…

How ironic that just a day after the  venerable Times-Picayune newspaper,  which did such heroic reporting during Hurricane Katrina when it devastated New Orleans,  announced it was no longer printing an edition daily,  Hurricane  Isaac should  come calling on Cajun country.

Christie lit it up…

Gov. Chris Christie gave the best convention address I’ve ever heard.  If you didn’t watch it live, you missed a treat,  but you can read  the text here,  courtesy of The Drudge Report.   It was a big-ball speech,  a serious one full of challenge and opportunity.

Former Rep. Arthur Davis gave  another significant  speech,  in which he laid bare the failures of His Oneness,  and candidate Mia Love  richly deserved  the applause she received.

You might also enjoy Lt. Governor candidate Sher Valenzuel’s speech,  here,  and Gov. Scott Walker’s,  here,  and certainly candidate Ted Cruz’s,  here.

This site has  videos of all the speeches.  (h/t Lucianne.com)
