Convention blogging

I'm taking a breather between President Carter and President Clinton. Our nation was gifted with 12 years -- I only get 40 minutes!

The Irish Trojan's blog is doing some great convention blogging. Highlights include:

Man, Stephanie Tubbs is annoying. Becky and I finally muted her because we couldn't deal with her voice anymore. I know she's a minority and she's a woman and she's from Ohio, but seriously.

Jimmy Carter is pulling no punches. Methinks he may have been deemed "off limits" to the Kerrymen's editing.

On a side note, the music between speakers is awful.

Earlier, Reverend Stephen Ayres of Boston's Old North Church said that, if not for the famed heroics of Boston's revolutionaries, "you might be nominating Tony Blair today" instead of John Kerry. To which I couldn't help thinking: sounds great! Where can I sign up? :)

In other news, the music between speakers is still awful. I mean, really awful.

UPDATE: Uh-oh. The president of Planned Parenthood just compared the war against terrorism to "the war against women's reproductive freedom" at home. She said we need to win that war "just like" we need to win the war abroad. Yeah, because the battle over abortion rights is exactly like the war against Islamic fundamentalists who want to destroy Western Civilization.

ANOTHER "UH-OH": Now Marca Bristo, President and CEO of Access Living of Metropolitan Chicago, just compared the Republicans' policies toward disabled Americans to "Jim Crow."

A bit of good news, though: the convention is right on schedule.

Seriously, I think the DJ is a closet Republican trying to sabotage the convention with terrible, terrible music.
