One of the suberics recently half-jokingly suggested that the local friend who replaced one of her regular movie nights with a DNC-night give the same coverage to the RNC, so that the same crowd can throw soft things at the screen as a group activity. But if night 1 set the tone for the whole convention, I don't think that would work very well. As Kos said,

I think I figured out the formula:
9-11
9-11
9-11
9-11
John Kerry sucks
John Kerry is a flip-flopper
Terrorism
Amen
No talk about domestic issues. No talk about jobs. Nothing on the economy.

And hence nothing you can really talk back to. The entire structure makes my blood boil.

In happier news (swiped from jadelennox, look at the bios of the prinicipals of this small wargaming-revival company. One of them looks so out of place to almost seem a weak joke, but nope, it's the real deal; he's on record as being a game geek.

I support and embrace the celebrity-jockification of nerdy pastimes. Go stand next to Vin Diesel so I can get a group photo.

And Vin Diesel got Judi Dench to play D&D! Judi Dench!

although michael moore is on the floor of the convention, and when he was blasted by mccain, he stood up and acted like he was accepting cheering. and he was saying "two more months! two more months!"

just sayin, there are some interesting things about the RNC. like how paranoid the cops are around here that yesterday they stopped the folks dressed as bananas who were advertising the opening of a new jamba juice, just to make sure they were insurgents from the chaquita faction come to protest the president's stand on fruit. i know i keep bringing this up, but it really was bizarre.

Ari Fleischer: Good evening folks, I've called this press conference together to revamp our pressroom policies. To express the importance recent events have had on the American people, the Bush administration will now be answering all inquiries with just '9/11'... Any questions?
Reporter: Ari, is it true th-
Ari Fleischer: 9/11. Next question.
Reporter: so... it's just going to be about 9/11 from now on?
Ari Fleischer: 9/11. 24/7.
Reporter: 10-4.

Are we still on "evil doers" ? Is that buzzword active these days?

How about, per last night's marathon of Daily Show, "Turned the corner... "

I will likely watch as much of the RNC as I did the DNC. Which means I'm already caught up.

No, it is now "girly men".
