[lit-ideas] Re: Convention

I hope your racenet polling is reliable, as polling goes.  I had the 
convention on while doing household stuff and watched as long as I could 
inbetween 
having to leave the room for cause of feeling ill.  I'm not exaggerating.  It 
was 
a full-stops 3 hankie nose-wringer.   I didn't expect (naive, I know) for 
them to climb on the bodies of the Towers victims to wave their flags higher.  
I 
wanted to cry (okay, I did cry) for the families and dead who were being 
shamelessly used.  For some reason the cop's singing of Amazing Grace (I can 
never 
remember his name) was unutterably gorgeous and totally despicable.  
Particularly following the montage of the military.  All designed to elicit 
swallowed 
sobs of patriotic emotion.  I understand Schwarzenager (I can also never spell 
that right and this computer's too slow for me to do a search) is making his 
appearance tonight, along with Laura.   Hey, Eric -- were you biking in 
protest?  Hoping you weren't one of the arrestees.
