07/27/2004: "Thundering Democrats"

Big thunder boomers at midnight the last two nights have kept me from blogging and from reading the 9/11 Commission Report as I don't want my computer up and running when a power surge occurs. I have been awakened by the storms both nights and it usually takes a couple of hours to get back to sleep. So if I am babbling, chalk it up to sleep deprivation.

I fully intended to watch the Democratic Convention last night but I found that I couldn't take it for that long, so I watched Law and Order reruns, switching back to the convention during commericals and when I had gotten a near toxic dose, back to Law and Order.

I was unfortunate enough to switch back to it just as the former President Clinton was being introduced. Someone needs to tell Hillary that the microphone increases the volume of her words and therefore she doesn't need to shriek. Hillary giving a speech is like listening to a cat in heat or fingernails on a chalkboard. Back to Law and Order I went.

I did catch Bill Clinton's speech on the middle of the night reruns and as usual, he gave an energetic, inspiring speech to his disciples. I can't fault his delivery of political rhetoric. Slick Willy is able to pile it on thick and does it oh so well.

I was surprised when I had heard earlier in the day that the Kerry Campaign had put out the word that the message was to be positive and not Bush bashing. Apparently, that means don't use the name Bush as you bash. The Republicans or This Administration would do just fine and wasn't considered Bush bashing.

I guess they took their cue from Terezzza the day previous; when she told a reported to "shove it" for correctly quoting her although she insisted she didn't say it. (I guess money can't buy class.) A quick rerun of the tape shows that she did say it. So Mrs. Kerry, what did you mean by Un-American? Answer the reporter's question, you said it, now explain it. And by the way, why haven't you released your tax returns yet?

I am looking forward to tonight's convention because Teddy is scheduled to speak. Terezzza has called him a "perfect bastard" back when she was a Republican. I read that the Kennedy cronies said that all is well now, Terezzza and Teddy are friends and that was "water under the bridge." I don't think anyone associated with Teddy Kennedy should ever use his name, water, and bridge in the same sentence.

I am only 135 pages into the 9/11 report. I think this is something everyone should read. Will keep trying to read it and finally comment when I have.

Ta Ta for now!
