TAMPA --
Security-conscious authorities will be using a wide variety of devices and technology to monitor the skies, streets and waterways around Tampa during next week's Republican National Convention. Cameras, helicopters and law enforcement officers all will be employed to help look for suspicious activity and possible threats.

Add to that mix one more technology: drones.

This will mark the first time unmanned aerial vehicles will patrol the skies over a national convention, according to an engineer with a Naples company that builds and will operate the drones.

Why wouldn't they be flying over the convention?  The company that manufacture the drones have to protect the congressmen and women they paid for.

They won't be flying long, the storm will be taking them out to sea.

On the positive side, Republicans won't be harassed by pesky demonstrations at the convention due toi the weather.

Johnny Cash's daughter swears at Boehner, on Twitter

John Boehner has been invoking Johnny Cash on the stump lately as a figure of American nostalgia:
"Remember when Ronald Reagan was president? We had Bob Hope. We had Johnny Cash. Think about where
we are today. We have got President Obama. But we have no hope and we have no cash.


Displeased: Rosanne Cash, Johnny Cash's daughter posts:
"John Boehner: Stop using my dad's name as a punchline, you @sshat"


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

John Kenneth Galbraith
