I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I realize that Gore dug most of his own grave in 2000, but that's probably not how the press is going to paint it should we end up with PotUS McCain.

I always felt bad for Gore that he got tagged with the "I invented the Internet" thing when he never said it.

Well, that one I don't blame him for, but when I see him these days doing his green advocacy, I want to scream "Where were YOU in 2000!?!?!?"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My office is full of children today too.

Is this "between camp and boarding school the yuppie puppies come in to play"?

I'm sad that Obama being Christian makes me squirmy sometimes. Because I really believe that he's a Christian, not a theocrat, and yet, I hear "God," and I think "Oh, crap."

"Where were YOU in 2000!?!?!?"

Busy being really awkward in front of the camera as I recall. No, I agree with you, it was not a slick campaign. Neither was Kerry. I'm already having some concerns with Obama was well, I think he needs to be a little less thoughtful and do more hammering message. I'm hoping maybe the convention will kick that off. I'm not against thoughtful, but you need to get people excited.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"If they are under my desk, I will feel free TO KICK THEM"

I would! I think my minion is nicer than I.

"less thoughtful" - but we've had 8 full years of less thoughtful. I'm ready for "more thoughtful" . . . okay, pretty much anyone would be more thoughtful.

Whee, we just had a tornado evacuation! Note that I work in one of the largest buildings on campus. Oh, the masses of humanity crowded into the windowless lowest level for half an hour.

I think the convention is really good so far. But I'm the base, I'm supposed to think that!
