I liked the line about impressing the world with the power of our example rather than the example of our power. I'm not sure it's original but it's good.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love him. And damn if he didn't play his role to a T. Tee? Anyway. I don't care what his actual personal feelings are, that was the perfect speech for him to make at this convention.
And yeah, Chelsea looks great.

All of these speeches about what Obama is going to do are reminding me of the South Park song about Brian Boitano.

I agree quester.

Man, I know it is standard, there's historical precedent, it is politically suicide not to, and I know I'm in the minority, but I am really tired of politicians godblessing me and my country.
I'm fine with individuals (friends or even strangers when we find ourselves interacting) godblessing me. I appreciate the sentiment that prompts it, though I might not share the faith. But otherwise? Meh.

Awesomely, apparently Joe Biden said something like it four years ago. [link]

Well, Joe probably plagerized it, then!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Also, in completely shallow observation: Chelsea turned out to be a gorgeous young woman.
Never underestimate the power of the straightening iron and some plastic surgery.

OK John Kerry is actually scoring points!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
On the other hand, Kerry gets points for the "finish the debate with yourself" line, but I will never believe him saying "Are you kidding me?!" or anything else with an interrobang.
eta: ha! x-post on the scoring points!
