Report from "Middle America"
So my mom, a conservative Democrat, and my Dad, a swing voter, say that the Republican Convention is a "load of bullshit," and that the pukes are "mean, nasty, and don't know how to do anything but sling mud."

Five months ago, me & my dad were brawling over George Bush. He's still with Kerry. Too bad he lives in Illinois.

On another funny note, I live in Iowa City, IA, and while Miller's speech was on, someone in my apartment complex had all their windows wide open and were, from what I could tell, playing Nazi propaganda films, as high as the volume on their TV would go.

It was really trippy, listening to both speeches at the same time.

Anyway -- people, keep your chins up. The masses will see through their bashing. People are tired of the dialogue being drug through the mud -- where it's been for the last 10 years, thanks to the right-wing hate radio barons. Zell was over the top, and he will not play well.

2. that is so funny. Leni Reifenstahl video rentals just skyrocketed.
"...all their windows wide open and were, from what I could tell, playing Nazi propaganda films, as high as the volume on their TV would go."

That would scare the shit out of the neighbors.
Gawd forbid they're Jewish.

I think THE NAZI PARALLELS DO NEED TO BE KEPT IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC. It is so important to be honest about how bad things are.
