2016 General Election: A Third Way
I can't wait for the Convention to begin!
Democrat Convention: Final Edition
I consume news and information electronically now, instead of reading print. But it's on the rare morning like this that dead-tree media really shine.
The Boys Are Back In Town
I went to Summer camp this morning, in Foxborough MA, with about 10,000 other New England Patriots fan(atic)s.
It was very hot, and free, and absolutely wonderful to see football back for another season.
And Tom Brady was already in his teammates' faces to push harder. He even chewed out a ball boy for getting in his way.
A WBZ-TV reporter interviewed me on camera about my expectations for the team during TB12's four-game regular season suspension.
"3-1" I replied. No hesitation.
It's on...
Democrat Convention Night Three: Joe Biden And Malarky
Joey - you coulda been a contender. You coulda been somebody
Democrat Fight Song
Pretty slick, if I must say so myself.
Democrat Convention Night Two. She's Back...
DWS in the house tonight. I think she is still DNC Chairwoman until the end of the week. Or is she now an HRC campaign advisor? I'm so confused.
HRC To DWS: You're Fired! You're Hired!
Well, that was fast.
Collector's Item
Passes to political conventions are always much in demand by collectors of political ephemera. I suspect that this 2016 Democrat Convention pass, the Wasserman Schultz one, will see a lot of bidding activity.

GOP Convention: First Night
While everyone works furiously this morning to out-do everyone else in sharing or structuring the perfect plagiarism meme, my takeaway from last night's proceedings in Cleveland is nicely encapsulated in a comment from the always-reliable Republican strategist Steve Schmidt:
"What we’re seeing tonight is the weaponization of grief.”
I Said Young Man...
Sometimes, there is inspiration. Always go with it...
Francis Underwood For President
Seems legit, given the circumstances. (Thank you to my friend Jonathan Roses for the photo.)
Now You're Talking!
Election Day is on November 1. It can't possibly come soon enough for me.
What's Going On?
Sadly, the message of Marvin Gaye's song still hangs in the air after all these years. Especially this morning. And I'm becoming less and less confident that we will find an answer to his question anytime soon.
Have a nice weekend.
Max Headroom
It has been way too long. We all really need Max Headroom to return to TV.
Peace, Love, Soul, Hamsters
1968 was a terrible year also. MLK and RFK assassinations, riots at the Democratic Convention in Chicago, racial turmoil, death and chaos in big cities, and Nixon. But at least there was music to escape to.
Welcome back, Kia Soul hamsters!
If You Like Teflon, You'll Love Clinton!
Nothing sticks to a Clinton.
