Watching Stephen Colbert's stuff from last night is pretty soothing.
I need to watch that at lunch. That's the only RNC coverage I'm interested in.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Colbert last night was everything.
Is anyone else wondering if Melania's plagiarism last night was a cry for help on her part or possibly an attempt at sabotage by the election staff? My brain is going there because I can't imagine hat no one thought we would notice.

Well, she didn't write it.
or possibly an attempt at sabotage by the election staff?
Maybe, but I think the answer is arrogance and stupidity. Arrogance because they think think no one but the GOP was going to listen to the speech. Stupidity because they forgot this is 2016 and the magical internet machine exists so that people can fact-check this shit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Guys, it's Hillary's fault, obviously: [link]

Mom said she saw an interview wit Melania a couple of days ago in which she said she was writing most of her own speech, not that that really means anything.

Who cares about facts? Leave it to the liberal media to make a headline about a few similar words. Just shows you that they are in bed with Obama and Hillary and their anti-American agenda.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I saw a tweet this morning along the lines of "Well, it's no Benghazi."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Well that's true. Even Benghazi was no Benghazi.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It occurred to me, that the speechwriters might have done it deliberately to draw attention away from all the other, more serious to the future of the country, shit that went on last night. Because it's a thing that can be easily fact-checked and of course the "liberal media" would be all over plagiarism. That's like dangling a catnip mouse in front of a cat.

I've seen several commenters saying exactly that. This isn't going to change anyone's mind. Which is why it's a safe little scandal to distract from the racism and grief exploitation and utter lies of the rest of the speeches.

Oh, good, Sam Bee was new last night too.
