payday and other excitement
Which is to say, shopping. ;)
Seriously, though...up later than I originally planned last night since I decided to catch part of the RNC, first on streaming video and then on NPR. Michael Steele was most excellent ("Drill, baby, drill!"), Mitt Romney not so much, and I missed most of what Gov. Lingle and the Huckster had to say since I was attending to important matters of personal hygiene. I came out of the shower just in time to catch Rudy Giuliani, who was en fuego*. That speech was great honking wheelbarrows of steaming, bloody raw meat and the crowd ate it up. That was just a warmup, though. Rudy was followed by Sarah Palin, and she ROCKED THE HOUSE**. Hit all the marks, gave McCain and her family their propers, and then ripped into the Democratic ticket*** like a Last Frontier Steel Magnolia. Fun to listen to, and definitely proof that the Angry Old White Guy made the right choice for VP.
Too cute for words:
(Ace)
*(also Ace)
**(not Ace, but Althouse)
***Which, as far as Sarah Palin, the RNC delegates, and I are concerned, includes what El Rushbo is pleased to call "the Drive-By Media". I get the feeling any invitations from Sally Quinn are likely to be used for fingerpaint canvases at the VP Residence for the next four years...

-some Chicago political hack
If you go by the delegate count, he won Texas, but the actual primary vote wasn't that close. As for the Clintons, yeah, nice speeches at the convention, but I notice a lot of her people are sticking it to the O'Biden ticket whenever the opportunity presents itself, and I don't see either Bill or Hillary busting a hump for the the ticket.
You should also be aware that there's a term for politicians who count on the youth vote in Presidential elections. It's "loser". That's been true in every election I've seen since 1968. Every four years we hear about how the youth of America are energized and ready to make an impact on the election (usually for Democrats), and every four years it turns out to be bullshit.
