Future First Family
Just got done watching the Four Days in Denver video over at Chez Coma. I’m still too sleepy to be verbose, so let me use some fun little bullet points to hit on a few [mostly superficial] thoughts that I had while watching:
- Loved it!
- Michelle O, you’re the best! Not only are you a class act, but you don’t look like a scary corpse lady. You remind me of someone.
- I paused the video midway and googled a question of great import:
- Let’s face it – I think Sasha is probably hilariously naughty, and I can’t wait to hear about her antics at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
- I noticed that Barack appears to be left-handed. Can America afford a left-handed president? Risky!
We’re going to be in good hands, folks.
"America, we are better than these last eight years."

How long am I going to have to harp on the concept of broad appeal?
No, I don’t have a problem with Obama making the acceptance speech at Invesco – that seems like the best way to do it. I think it’s really awesome that that’s being done in a location that will allow for so many people to share in the experience.
However, some folks don’t seem to see the importance of him visiting some smaller forums as well to engage groups who aren’t Yellow Dog Democrats like us. It seems like these individuals can’t see past the sound byte factor that comes from Bredesen simplifying his point by using Wal-Mart as an example.
Come on guys, this is why some people think we’re elitist pricks.
EDITED TO ADD: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Somebody gets it!!!!
TAKE A BYTE
I thought Bill – or Billiam, as I prefer to call him – did just fine, but I wasn’t enamored. Maybe it’s just because my 16-year bout with Bill-itis went into a bit of remission in the primary season when he got so snippy.
In contrast, Senator Clinton’s speech was phenomenal – she had the sound bytes. And let’s face it, folks, sound bytes are what it boils down to in the morning. Not everyone’s as engaged as I am or you are (I assume you are if you’re reading this, anyway).
(I want to be self-deprecating and say that if I’m sitting here watching this convention every night for hours, I’m a nerd. It’s true and it’s not. There’s something to be said for trying to be informed.)
However, the simple fact is that, for any number of reasons, there are plenty of people out there who take their news and form their opinions from the sound bytes on the morning news.
Make it short, make it raw, and give it broad appeal.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits?
Ok, I lied. I’ve been watching the convention the whole time and putting rollers in my hair (you would not believe the picture that you’re NOT GOING TO GET of me right now).
I’ll watch They Live when HRC’s done.
I’m all outta bubblegum
I just don’t think I can do the convention tonight – I took in hours of it last night. I’ve got to save up some energy for Wednesday and Thursday night, after all. I’ll tune back in for Hillary, but that’s it.
Besides, my copy of They Live arrived today!!!
FUCK FOX NEWS
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Best thing I’ve seen all week!
Let’s Go Change the World
I like the new commercial (for the convention)!
