did you notice that they played Barracuda, by Heart, last night during the balloon drop?  Sarah's nickname in college was "Sarah Barracuda". :-)

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

So many things about McCain can send me into a spit-flecked rage...

...BUT...

...as a soldier who is also a father of 3...

...I trust this man to spend my life wisely.


That made me look at things way differently. Thank you. Hi-5!

Meh I say. As long as they get their royalties for the public airing, I really think there is little that can be done other than foot stomping and negative press.

Liberals are idiots.  McCain is toast.

A lot of people were asking tonight: what the hell was that mansion up behind John McCain tonight during the first part of the speech? As I noted below, the TV close-ups only showed McCain's head against the grass in the picture, which made it look like he was reprising his famed green screen performance. And when they panned out, it looked like McCain was showing off one of his mansions.

Well, several readers have written in to tell me that the building is actually the main building on the campus of the Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California. And sure enough, this page on the school's website makes it pretty clear that they're correct.

Several readers have suggested that perhaps one of the tech geeks charged with setting up the audio/visual bells and whistles for the evening was tasked with getting pictures of Walter Reed Army Medical Center but goofed and got this instead.

This was linked on Fark, which was linked to Daily Kos, which was linked to TPM.  This has legs.  :whatever:

Robin Roberts, Diane Sawyer, and a couple other hens on ABC were gleefully covering the dismantling of the GOP convention setup this morning.
