A relative on my Facebook got pissy because God wasn't mentioned in the DNC platform! What happened to Freedom of Speech!
In any case, if I'm following the reporting correctly, they basically caved and put God back in.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thrive to spite them
They did cave and put God back in. But it's suppressing Freedom of Speech that God wasn't included! Feeling forced to put God back in means - Freedom of Speech is being protected.

Yup. And re-inserted the statement that Jerusalem is the capitol of Israel.

Yeah, they did. And since some of the people on the floor booed at the caving, the GOP is now claiming that the DNC booed God.
I hate the way they cave: it does them no good, and just makes them look weak.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I saw someone quoting scripture about how those that "bless Israel will be blessed" and that's why you should vote Republican. *shudder*
I cannot express how much I love Charter Communication's use of Twitter for customer service. Seriously good. Charter itself isn't great and it's expensive but I adore not having to phone in. Just tweet them and they do want you want in a few minutes.

OMG Charlie Pierce, I love him so:
I would crawl on my knees naked through four miles of crushed glass just to listen, on a bad radio, to a debate between Bill Clinton and the zombie-eyed granny-starver Paul Ryan.

That would be, to quote Garfield, like swatting a fly with a Buick.

Naked through four miles of crushed glass....no. But I would pony up for pay-per-view for that debate.

Man, I think the only thing that's going to keep me sane this election season is the Esquire Politics Blog.
