Hello World
August 24th, 2008
The powers that be at Lean Left have been kind enough to grant me blogging privileges - at least until i start focusing on Britney Spears and/or American Idol. I would like to thank them for this privilege, and excepting my pathological inability to spell, I will try not and embarrass anyone.
My first topic is the Kabuki theatre that is the DNCC this year. I would have just loved to be a fly on the wall as the deals went down concerning Bill and Hillary. When they would speak, what they would speak about. And of course the whole nomination of Hillary (which I am glad is going to happen) and then her (reported) plan to release he delegates before the vote. Magnanimous gesture of unity? Concern that a reduced vote count would blunt her perceived position of power? We will never know. I am disappointed Wes Clark did not get a chance to speak. I hope he plays a strong role in the campaign and beyond. He is excellent neocon antidote.
I hope Bill and Hillary and Joe all rock the house, and that Obama nails his speech as well. I usually find conventions boring to the point of being almost unwatchable, but I’m thinking at least good-sized blocks of this one will be pretty entertaining. I certainly have had my fill of 13 yo Chinese gymnasts at this point.
