Well they can delay it 'till January 20th, 2009 for all I care. It won't make a difference if its delayed. The damage was done after August 29th, 2005 not because they caused it but because they failed to respond. The Republicans want to keep open the possibility of delaying the convention.

The very first sentence: "Gustav, Gustaf or Gustave ( meaning 'staff of the gods')...." I'm normally not stupidstitious, but I don't like the sounds of that. The ringing bell?
