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.
