I actually had to head out for a run – I actually walked the whole 3.5 miles as I twisted a muscle in my back yesterday morning – early so that I could manage to be showered and planted in front of the television for the RNC. The video productions were unbelievable. Robert Duvall’s narration… Continue reading RNC Night Two
The Republican National Convention is a new type of political convention. I would be interested to hear from people who responded to a quick survey run prior to either convention in my local paper regarding conventions and relevancy in current day politics. Laura Bush gave a short speech today. She then introduced an aggregate video message from four… Continue reading RNC Day One
The title is meant to be an eye catcher. Unfortunately, the subject is no joking matter. The major news networks believe that a 17 year old being pregnant is news. Actually, maybe I read it wrong. Maybe the major news networks believe that a 17 year old being pregnant and keeping the baby is news. … Continue reading Teen Pregnancy News?
Yes, as I indicated yesterday, last evening was the opening “day” for the 2008-2009 college football season. Being a college football fanatic, I am thrilled that it is back and had a hard time concentrating on the DNC last night as I flipped between three games on my television.

I could have given this some great title, indicating the historic level of the night at the Democratic National Convention. I didn’t because, in the end when the night finished, all it was in my mind was day four of a not so great convention. In the long run, this is going to be an… Continue reading Convention Day 4
Okay, so Tuesday morning, I was contemplating watching college football openers on Thursday night. I still am. Tuesday’s convention evening was better than Monday’s but still way too much talking heads and not enough convention coverage for me. Wednesday night was equally disappointing. I realize that I live on the East coast. I cannot think… Continue reading Convention Day 3
There were sound bites – those little bits that we hear and that the news media will play over and over again until we can all vomit – from the Democratic National Convention that need to be put out there. Bob Casey, Jr said that John McCain calls himself a maverick but his voting record… Continue reading Tuesday Quotes
While I do believe that the night has dragged on – yes, it is 11:33 pm and I am still up and seem to be typing without too many errors, tonight was more what I expected of a political convention than last night.
