Being actual media covering the Republican National Convention I got a bag full o’ stuff. Some are usefull (post-it notes) some not (the “guide” to the convention doesn’t offer much guidance). Here are a few pictures:
Does Kraft think the Republican National Convention will be filled with Satan worshipers or Slayer(!) fans? The noodle selection for […]
It’s her biggest strength. From Rich Lowry:
Palin is the Republicans’ first woman vice-presidential nominee and, of course, has a chance to be the nation’s first woman vice president. But “firsts” aside, she’s potentially so compelling because she has lived so close to the everyday experience of Americans.
Both McCain and Obama come out of elites […]
Once upon a time (20 years to be exact) Gov. Sarah Palin read the sports news for an Anchorage, AK television station.
She was no Keith Olberman which is a very, very good thing.
A more recent video comes from last year when Gov. Palin visited Alaska National Guard troops in Kuwait:
Palin likes guns.

I can call the Twin Cities “The Cities” because I actually lived in Minnesota for a few years. I’m staying at a friend’s place and getting ready to go to the “Media Party” along Minneapolis’ riverfront. If you’re already in The Cities or soon will be let me know so we can get together. This […]
What should we make of Gov. Sarah Palin as Sen. John McCain’s Vice Presidential pick? Well, she’s got more executive experience than McCain, Obama, and Biden combined.
Palin hurts McCain’s recent attacks on Obama’s inexperience. However, it puts Democrats in a precarious position. If they knock Palin for not being experienced enough to be Vice President […]
Sen. Obama’s acceptance speech tonight was a let down for me. I still possess political idealism. While not having any intentions of voting for Obama I liked his ideas about bridging the political divide. I don’t like a political space where my political opponent is my enemy. With Obama’s soaring post-partisan rhetoric I could admire […]
I love campaigns making efforts to have their online supporters take offline action. People still need to physically go to a polling place or cast an absentee ballot. Volunteers need to make phone calls to undecided voters. People need to knock on doors to make sure people get out and vote. The online world is […]
NRO’s Steve Spruiell reports Republican party officials are about to unveil the 2008 platform. Spruiell got a draft version and noted it’s shorter than the 2004 platform. I wonder what effect there was with opening up the discussion using online tools. It’s not enough letting people submit videos and text recommendations. Real interactivity means doing […]
If you missed Michelle Obama’s speech you can watch it courtesy of C-SPAN:
NRO’s Jim Geraghty and Mike Hemingway yap about the first day (pre-evening speeches).
There’s also the report from The Economist demonstrating some of their reporters need to watch more Entertainment Tonight.

The Olympics finished with a closing ceremony as choreographed and large as the opening ceremony. When the Olympic flame was extinguished only to be replaced with a flailing, flickering pillar of human bodies I was disturbed at the Communist propaganda of it all. I didn’t watch any of the opening ceremony with the lip syncing […]
The last few days I’ve been quite the road warrior: flew to Nashville for an office retreat; then back to Washington, DC only to get on another plane to fly to Milwaukee. Tonight, I’m off to my 15-year high school reunion. Then it’s on another plane tomorrow to get back to DC. Then I’ll be […]
Rarely do I get press releases as interesting as the one I got from James Madison’s Montpelier. Here are a few facts about President Madison’s Vice Presidents:
The 1808 election was the first time electors had to name specifically a president and a vice-president (12th amendment). Prior to 1808, the two top vote-getters determined the […]
It’s a good sign that your sport shouldn’t be in the Olympics when participants want to attach lights to their bodies:
After finishing second at the last world championships, Spanish synchronized swimmers Andrea Fuentes and Gemma Mengual had put the spotlight on themselves heading into the Olympics.
Apparently a spotlight wasn’t enough.
Fuentes and Mengual wanted to wear […]
How fast is Usain Bolt? Very fast:
I am not totally confident in my math skills but if you cover 100 meters in 9.69 seconds, that is an average speed of just over 23 miles per hour. Since Bolt was slowing down near the end plus needed a couple seconds to get up to speed, he […]
Tee Bee’s being extra snarky griping that the Wisconsin Conservative Digest isn’t sufficiently linking to conservative weblogs. Thanks for recommending TAM along with a bunch of other great weblogs.
