DNC 08!: live blogging while cooking dinner

Roomie was made uncomfortable by the live feed of un-rhythmic liberals grooving to the live soul band so now we're trying to find something else to look at.

And about that live band - kudos to the convention organizers for hipping America to soul music. (roll of eyes) I guess it's better than Fleetwood Mac.

Boy that John Legend is a cutie. And is it universal that gospel choirs code for Hope? It's just a question.

Ok, I gotta get back to my carbonara. But first - hey, you think Michelle Obama is going to lose her composure tonight and call someone whitey?

Oh, she's gonna go way beyond that. She's gonna toss out a "honky" and a "cracker" and an "ofay" while she's at it.

I admit I learned "ofay" from that Richard Pryor word-association skit on SNL.

One can only hope. She'd out do Janet's nipple if she pulled it off, ya know.

lord. maybe there'll be a dog whistle in there somewhere, some subliminal whisper of 'Whitey.' then all the non-white people of the country would rise up and ...

hm.

race-based conflict seems so tiring.

"When I was a kid, my dad used to work nights so he could be home with us kids in the daytime. He'd make a pot of tomato soup and serve it with crackers. *wink wink*"
