Happy 100th Birthday, Gene Kelly and Weather Around America

 
Well, as it turns out, we are NOT singin' in the rain, but we recognize Gene Kelly (1912-1996) which would have been this past week. Of course, to those of us who love Stanley Kubrick films, we will always cherish the tune in part because it's Alex's anthem in "A Clockwork Orange."
 
As Tropical Storm Isaac threatens the Republican Convention, scheduled to begin in Tampa, Fla., on Monday, weather is actually replacing politics as America's main concern. Of course, our thoughts are also with people in Cuba and Haiti who are dealing with the storm as well.
 
Speaking of the GOP Convention, we can't wait to start makin fun of Paul Ryan again; he reads Voltaire?! Yeah, I still not voting for him and Mitt Romney either. My personal feeling is that once again Boo Boo is overshadowing Yogi Bear; perhaps now Romney wishes he chose Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio).
 
Here's a look at weather around America:
 
Boston 68 74 cloudy
 
Cleveland 81 clear
 
Columbia, SC, 74 clear
 
New York 73 partly cloudy
 
Philadelphia 75 cloudy
 
Raleigh, NC, 68 cloudy
 
Roanoke, Va. 69 cloudy
 
St. Louis 75 rain
 
San Francisco 56 cloudy
 
Tampa 79 partly cloudy
 
Washington DC 72 cloudy

Athletes Helping with Haiti Relief Efforts






Haitian-born Philadelphia '76ers player Samuel Dalembert traveled to Haiti along with former NBA star Alzono Mourning to help relief efforts there this week. They went there along with members of the charity group Project MediShare.

Here is a part of Dalembert's statement about the visit:

"I tried to be strong," Dalembert said. "But that was enough for me. There are a lot of homeless children looking families and the situation is so critical there. So many people lost everything."

We have a sister entry about this matter on our sister blog "The Daily Vampire."

Political Humor- Top 10 Reasons Why I Am a Democrat





For those of you living in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, this is in reference to some comments that Virginia Beach, Va., tv evangelist Pat Robertson made regarding the earthquake disaster in Haiti which has killed at least 100,000 people so far.

I would explain this further, but it is lunch time!

Here is my list:

1. Pat Robertson
