Morning After
Huge, huge thanks to everyone who donated last night. Because of you, and because of a good night's sleep, I'm feeling a little better this morning than I was ten hours ago.
I knew she was gonna rock this speech - how could she not? They kept her in seclusion for five days and she had a teleprompter and a crowd that wanted her to succeed in the worst way. Hard to fuck that up. We'll see what happens when she gets to a press conference, a town hall, a debate. She's more formidable than I thought, I guess, but if we can keep this on the issues, we'll win.
More later from me, but here's some early reax from beloved El Stence correspondents:
Dusk:
This repub convention is awesome at firing up the base, on the left. I'm going to start volunteering every weekend I can in Penn. These evil fucks must be stopped. ps, this is the exact same party it was in 2004, exact same convention. full of hate, fear, winks to the right, scorn for difference of opinion or anything else, the same divisiveness, lack of ideas, the same stooge democrat performing like a good monkey, the same bush speechwriter all the way down, low, low down, to "new-clear."
Jason:
A Message To You Re: Rudy
Jason from Canada, got in trouble for yelling at CNN, so I fired up the lappy and read your site.
Earlier, I watched Rudy, and all I have to say right now through a vibrating haze of alcohol and vitriol is that he is a loser. I know people who were frighteningly close to 9/11 and nobody ever mentions the mayor in their personal accounts of fright and confusion, ever. Rudy lost. He had an unprecedented teed-up tragedy to parlay into wide-spread public acceptance and bigfoot fur-lined diaper to be huge and shit himself repeatedly, yet he squandered his shot at the nomination. He lost. His opinion doesn't matter. He is trying to get a better job, and he's a snake.
Palin, more on her sober, but they should've played "I'm Your Puppet" when she came out to speak. She is a good speaker, but she is being played. No need to beat up on her, until I've re-watched the youtube of the full speech. But these CNN clips are fucking maddening.
Enough time has passed that I can go back to the TV and watch and comment without being scolded.
This shit is infuriating and fascinating.
The next Vice President of the United States:
Keep the faith.
