Opening Night: Democratic National Convention in Denver

I started listening to the DNC on NPR (was driving to Virginia) then watched the rest in a hotel room. Not bad opening night. Mrs first EYE-TALIEN-women-speaker lady was fun, especially when the crowd didn't play into her "MCCAIN IS WRONG" nonsense. Four years ago Edwards had a good one with "Hope is on the way" but Nancy's fell a little flat. And the story about her grandson looking at Barack and saying something about it being a dream was awkward. And you know its bad when you laugh at your own jokes, and with an arena full of people, you are the only one laughing.

Jesse Jackson Jr kind of scared me, he is angry. Very angry.

Caroline Kennedy always impresses me, tough family to have been born in to, tough life, a little sad.

Teddy Kennedy, although he is a dem and super lib, is a good Senator. John Kerry is useless in my beloved state of Massachusetts, at least Kennedy gets some things passed that make a difference.

Now watching the rest of this fun. And if I had a bucket list, you know, a list of things to do before you die as if you really have the ability to do anything you want or have any idea WHEN you are going to die, is to attend a DNC. Have you seen some of those folks in the audience, it's like a freakin rock concert. Democrats know how to party, loosen up, and let the good times roll. Fun times my friends, fun times.
