Bobal: Writer eliminates those scheduled to speak.

Michelle Obama is scheduled to speak. Not that she was in the running for VP, but we could get another surreal Teresa Heinz moment (I say we in the generic sense, I won’t be watching the Donks).

That elimates a lot of the elites. We’d be running on marital law for a good long time. Hopefully a Patton or Curt LeMay would be waiting in the wings.

Some people don’t understand there’s no such thing as a nuke attack against the US without reprisals. Somebody will pay, maybe a whole lot of somebodies. We could do like Michael Corleone in the end of the Godfather and square away “all the Family business”. Basically, everyone on America’s shit list at that time would end up glowing in the dark, and we’d get a pass in the court of world opinion. More assuredly, there’d be nary a peek from the dove wing of the Legislature.
