Not-So-Live Blogging The Democratic National...
I skipped tonight’s proceedings to go see Bob Dylan. He has his own connection to today’s 45h anniversary of the march on Washington. He was there. So I hit record on C-SPAN before I left and I’m going to skim through what looks interesting. So more than likely that means Barack’s speech and whatever watered down music from the early 70s they’ll be playing tonight.

Live Blogging The Democratic National Convention,...
I’m halfway through this thing and I feel like I’ve aged 7 years already. The conventional wisdom all day today has been that Hillary Clinton last night breathed all kinds of new life into the party with her soaring rhetoric that was one of the best speeches ever or something. I’m not sure I saw that. However, today courtesy of The Onion, I read some of the best political writing...

The second night of this reality show is starting and I can’t wait for Hillary Clinton’s talking head interview where she justifies telling her supporters to vote for McCain.

Live Blogging The Democratic National Convention...
I’m going to try and sit through the ultimate corporate rock concert that this thing is. It’s very possible I’ll give up on this in the first five minutes and go stick my head in the toilet to do something more cerebral. God, I feel sorry for the residents of Denver this week having to live with these people in their fine town.

Joe Biden, Delaware Destroyer: The three best and... →
I agree with the “best” list and sadly, those superficial reasons are all the pros he’s got in my book.
“But sorting through the many statements, speeches, and votes that Biden has made over the years—especially on matters related to the Middle East—leaves a slightly confusing impression: Biden is indeed an expert—but a very erratic one. His knowledge notwithstanding,...

What an inspiring man! Great choice, Barack! Biden, the Senator from MBNA.

Sunday morning at Saddleback Church - Salon News →
The forum the other night and the energy behind it has smelled like a new evangelical thing to do. And I mean that in a bad way. It seems like a way to justify voting for McCain for all of the evangelicals because they were going to do it anyway. They realize Obama is a Christian and way more of a comfortable one than McCain, who really doesn’t like that world and is embarrassed to be...

I taped it and quit in the middle of the second question. Barack was just going into his politician speak and Warren was asking first date questions that a fictional 14-year-old girl would ask. I decided to not waste my time watching more bullshit and instead watched the HBO Iraq War drama Generation Kill to get some substance instead. I think it was a wise decision.

Say No To Evan Bayh →
I agree - I say no to Bayh, Biden and Kaine or any of the other establishement and/or middle-of-the-road blowhards Obama is being advised to pick. Also, just picking someone from a red state purely for that reason also is a mistake in my eyes. He shouldn’t pull a McGovern and pick someone who just will please the establishment. I think he should pick someone who’s very progressive, not...
