Michael Tomasky's take: An Insane Choice
-
Where the PUMAs are concerned, who knows?
Yes, except the PUMAs don't exist. Go to one of the most illustrious hideouts, alegre's corner, and check out how many users are logged on at any one time. That gives you a pretty good idea of the numbers. Then read the comments and you'll find that many of these few (including Alegre herself) aren't even going to vote for McCain, they're going to stay home.

...I got nothing, that is pretty awesome.
Second that. Except I should say third I guess.

Oh, and WTF was that music about??
Which piece exactly? The country and western finale?
I thought The Love Train last night was a strange choice.
But Stevie Wonder was superb and ditto will.i.am earlier in the evening. -
Could it be (gasp) that the poor man was nervous
The Onion agrees.
I didn't read the speech, but I thought the delivery was excellent. Not Michelle Obama good, but then again by now we got used to his style a bit, and I think he might have consciously kept it in check to a certain degree.
The content was simply stunning. It tied into last night's biographical backgrounder, highlighting why Biden was chosen for the role; it countered and pre-empted the entire armory of Republican attacks; and was ferocious against McCain. When he barked "enough" I held my breath a little.
Or was he just going for a rock-steady statesmanlike vibe
All the journos there, seasoned campaigners that they are, were blown away. One even said that he seemed physically larger than before. Gasp!

Impressed.
Seconded.
GOP ghoul Alex Castellanos just now on CNN: "Whomever didn't get picked to be McCain's VP today is a lucky Republican." Heh.

I move in both circles and the very notion is just spastic to the nth degree.
Is what now?
Sport is a competitive event, in which people seek to achieve the fastest or most of something...
I always say that art is defined as "something that is designed or created to be exhibited for the viewing pleasure of others".
And yet I promise you I can get a lot more people to watch Ronaldinho perform than Jackson Pollock. Fancy.

Oops, and by rightly so, I meant the castigation bit.
Oh for Chrissakes...

Doesn't look like he'll be gone by lunchtime ... any picks on whether he'll still be a Minister by the time Checkpoint comes on tonight?
I say he'll be singing Daisy, Daisy come three pm.

By about 1993 I was reading newsgroups on the Waikato VAX cluster and came across alt.tv.mst3k (about Mystery Science Theater 3000), when I asked what on earth this was all about somebody sent me tapes from the US.
Sigh. I so miss Usenet.
