A few elections back, I was watching RNC coverage on MTV or something like that, and the very conservative-looking reporter was chatting with various delegates. He was talking to one about various organizations and what candidates they supported, and he said, "And we have reports that NAMBLA is throwing their support behind Candidate X." The delegate, thrilled to be being interviewed by a real press person with a camera and trying to hide that he was out of his depth at a national political event, smiled and said, "Oh, that's good." It was funny and sad.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

I'm pretty happy I'm traveling Monday and Wednesday nights, so I won't have the chance to catch the RNC those nights. The other nights...I kinda want to watch cause I just don't get it, I don't understand how ANYONE supports him. But I know it will be watching a trainwreck.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Back in the day I used to watch all 4 nights of both conventions. I think I stopped that after 1996. I can't stomach the GOP's bigoted hateful destructive fuckery.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't think I can stand to watch either convention. I'll get my coverage from Colbert and the Daily Show, and probably Maddow. I can't watch Maddow regularly, it's just too much, but I like her coverage of immediate political events. She explains stuff. And she's such a politics geek, it's fun to watch her wonk out.

They can play "Did we write the headline or did they actually say it?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I really hope the empty chair from 2012 makes a reappearance.

Have you seen the line up tonight? I suspect we'll look back on that chair as a model of erudition and forward thinking.
