:hah: Ya know what's funny? Going around the world and buying and shipping in all this green crap is using more fuel and polluting the air more than if they just bought everything in Denver.
But nooooooo. The hoity-toity elitist Democrats have to put on a big, green, P/C convention. I'll bet 10% of the staff must be homosexuals. 20% must be Hispanic. 10% Black....and so on. Only .0000001% can be caucasian males---that would be Howard Dean, Al Gore, Bill Clinton.

DENVER -- As the Mile High City gears up to host a Democratic bash for 50,000, organizers are discovering the perils of trying to stage a political spectacle that's also politically correct.
Consider the fanny packs.
With biodegradable balloons and organic snacks, Denver Democrats hope to stage the "greenest convention" ever. See examples.
The host committee for the Democratic National Convention wanted 15,000 fanny packs for volunteers. But they had to be made of organic cotton. By unionized labor. In the USA.
Official merchandiser Bob DeMasse scoured the country. His weary conclusion: "That just doesn't exist."
Ditto for the baseball caps. "We have a union cap or an organic cap," Mr. DeMasse says. "But we don't have a union-organic offering."
Much of the hand-wringing can be blamed on Denver's Democratic mayor, John Hickenlooper, who challenged his party and his city to "make this the greenest convention in the history of the planet."
