The Democratic National Convention Schedule, sort of
Christopher Buckley has edited the speaking schedule at the Democratic National Convention this week. It is hilarious ("Opening Ceremony -- Dignatures who have flown into Denver on private jets will parade to the Pepsi Center in alternative-energy vehicles, including solar-powered Segways, prairie dog drawn-carts and Tibetan goats"). That the editors of the New York Times felt the need to warn us that it is a "mock" schedule is both a sad reflection of our age and further evidence that many people who imagine themselves intelligent -- the core readership of the Times -- are nevertheless too unimaginative to know satire when they see it.

Remember the sound they used for the teacher's voice in the Charlie Brown movies?

Difference is Charlie Brown understood what they were saying.

LGF is reporting low-intensity lefty 'riots.' The referenced Livecam has been mysteriously removed, however...

I liked it better when things were actually decided at the convention. Now it is suppose to be a set piece to launch the final drive to the election> Apparently no one told the Clintons. If Obama loses in November I will lay blame at the feet of Hillary and her supporheir ters. I can't think of more damage they could have done, or are continuing to do, to undermine the Democratic party. They are now forever linked with sore losers in my book. At least the Rebublicans don't have to contend with the bitter women voters who feel that a black man unfairly spoiled their coronation.

But if Obama loses, we'll all have to deal with a coalition of bitter academics and blacks who feel that an old white guy led a political lynching.
