It's How Quickly You Get Back Up

~~~


Overheard from CNN's Wolf Blitzer at the Democratic National Committee Convention: "...alright there you see former President Bill Clinton. He's in Hillary Clinton's box. Can you tell us who else is up there in Hillary's box tonight?"


Wolf Blitzer, Douchebag.


Meanwhile back in DC, things are GREAT. All the politicians are either on the convention floor in Denver, or doing interviews on Fox. All but one of them - who is sitting alone, in the dark, on his couch in North Carolina, in his underwear, watching Bravo.

At the shiny new ballpark a mile south of the Capitol building, the team sitting dead-last in the major leagues eeked out a 2-1 win over Joe Torres' Dodgers. Manny-being-Manny Ramirez was phenomenal, hitting 3 for 4, but LA was doomed by four double plays - all of which were initiated by third base's cock of the walk - Ryan Zimmerman. Ballister threw strikes and eight other guys backed him up when the wood made contact. Joel Hanrahan closed the game with two guys on base. He threw a lot of pitches off the plate. He looked a little nervous. But he got three outs and the game ended, 2-1, DC. I thought I'd better tell you about the game, in case you weren't one of the 25 people listening to it on the radio or the 9000 watching it on TV.

Here comes Hillary to do her speech. Gotta go hang on her every word. I hope she uses her girl voice instead of her announcer guy voice tonight.


11:10 pm update:

First impression on Hillary's speech (before the anchors tell me what to think): Her best line, "did you vote for me for me? Or did you vote for me for that wounded Marine, for that single mother with cancer, that woman working for minimum wage ..."
She tore down the walls and rocked the house.
