Convention Notes

Notes on the RNC proceedings this evening:

I am generally a one-issue voter. However, from now until the end of all time, I shall become a two issue voter. The second issue? If any, any candidate takes an opportunity to "shake it like a Polaroid", they will have lost my respect and my [...]

Those Conniving Devils!

It all becomes clear now. By putting Schwarzenegger on the podium tonight, the GOP not only appeals to moderate voters, it also gives Dubya some linguistic leeway on Thursday night. He may have his own unique struggles with the English language, but Bush can pronounce "California".

It's Like A Carbo Lottery Around Here

So I strolled by the snack machine after lunch today and noted a pack of Swedish Fish dangling tantalizingly off their hook. Never one to pass up a sure bargain, I dropped $0.75 into the machine, fully expecting to reap the dangling pack and, more than likely, the one behind it due to the [...]
