So much for having a good time at the Democratic National Convention.
The party’s Denver confab has adopted a regimen of political correctness of the sort not seen since George McGovern was boycotting grapes.
Organizers have laid down strict rules, The Wall Street Journal reports, aimed at producing the “greenest convention in the history of the planet.”
They include:
* No fried foods. Whatsoever.
* All meals must include “at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple and white.”
* At least 70 percent of all food must be organic and grown locally.
And organizers have recruited 900 recycling enforcers to ensure that every scrap of trash goes into the proper bin.And to make sure that any balloons used are biodegradable, the convention’s director of greening (no kidding) has been burying samples in a compost heap.
