Funny thing about the national political party conventions this summer. I received multiple invitations to the Democratic convention. I received no invitations to the Republican convention.
Although this is a non-partisan web site, does that make sense to you? If so, what explanation comes to your mind? This is a presidential election year. I reserve the right to vote for some Democrats, but President Obama is obviously not going to be among them. Maybe the People of the Burro think that seeing the President in person will convert me?
I did not seriously consider the kind of sinister explanations found in the fiction, and even the actual news reports, in some countries. This web site isn't big enough that any member of the opposition, however demented, would want to kill me physically; it's cheaper, easier, and safer for them to pretend I don't exist...and supposedly libertarian Yahoo is certainly willing to help.
But, anyway, Billy Hallowell has the inside story. It's not personal, it's not even political except in the most primal sense. The Democrats are motivated by a fear of empty seats. Not only will they invite opposition writers to their convention; with the convention scheduled to take place in a state where voters had just voted overwhelmingly against a plank in the Democrats' current platform, they may end up bribing unemployed people to attend for food.

Hmm. Are any unemployed North Carolinians reading this? Don't sell out for less than you're worth! Demand $50 in cash per day, over and above transportation, meals, and coffee. And if they need you to occupy a seat for two days, insist on a nice hotel room.
