Goodnight, moon
Yawn, snarfle. The great thing about having a job is that I have money. The terrible thing is that I don't have time. Oh well.
I sure hope Kerry's speech at the Democratic National Convention is good. I remember nothing about the Clinton video at his first convention, except the feeling it gave me: He's going to make it. I hope Kerry gives me the same feeling.
I also remember the night of Michael Dukakis's defeat. The TV showed Reagan and the Republican Party as national, prepared to rule. The pitifully draped Dukakis stage showed the Dukakis campaign as regional, not prepared to rule. Needless to say, I hope that the Kerry operation gives me that national feeling. Like they're prepared for successs, assuming that they're winners. That they're ready.
There's a lot riding on this election.
I'd also like to see another Seymour Hersh story in the New Yorker real soon now. It's not fair for Hersh to go around the country talking about Abu Ghraib videos of screaming boys being raped. Why tease us? Write the story, already!
