“There are economic challenges out there, hardships etc, sure. But you’d think we’re all living off of puddle water and grub larvae from the way they talk about life in America today.”
Stolen from George Castanza in the Seinfeld episode where he pretends to be at work while staying at his fiancés cabin. Keep in mind the next time Pantload calls out Biden for plagiarism.

Gbear, that was driving me crazy too, all those ego-mad pundits in love with the sound of their own voice, repeating the same platitudes while people like Kerry were speaking.

Then I discovered that C-Span is carrying the whole convention with no punditry. Every speech, uninterrupted, which was a relief. And if a speech happens to be boring, you can always switch back to MSNBC and watch an interview of somebody in a funny hat.

Now it will be the MSM’s job to sugar coat the chaos that will be the Republican Convention while Gustav bears down on NOLA. It is true, my friend, God hates Republicans, and so shall it be written.

Note that an individual income above $75,000 is earned by only 10% of the US population; Only 5.6% have incomes greater than $100,000. We know Jonah’s cut of wingnut welfare has got to be higher than that, and our media talking heads are so far above that $100K level they can’t even see it from where they sit. Therefore I think we should all listen very carefully and very quietly when our monetary betters tell us how good we’ve got it.

The good news is that Mr. DBD used to be in the 70% of us who earn less than $50,000/year, but the poor dear has had a bad run of luck of late so he’s headed for the bottom of that pool.

I’d pay big bucks to see you debate Jonah. The thought of Jonah leaving the venue, carrying his ass in his arms, would be worth the price of admission.

Amen dude. A-fucking-men.

I’m 38 and have been working since I was 13. I got student loansd for school, which I’m still paying back. No one ever gave me a job simply because I was someone’s pal or because of my connections. I’ve had to fucking fight for every little thing I have. Jonah Goldberg can suck my dick.

For that matter so can Joe Biden and his Bankruptcy Bill.

Nice, TBogg. Pantload is a great SINGer, himself.

Talk about hope. I really hope the Rethugs go with a “quit whining you big babies” theme.

Ummmm, that’s a really great post, TBogg. Thank you for putting that down.

The quality of most of the speeches at the convention has been remarkable - and the awfulness of the cable coverage has been giving those great speeches even greater urgency (Kerry’s great speech was basically ignored so that the talking heads could babble to each other). This convention, in many ways, has been a revolution that was not televised. The media is sitting right in the room but doesn’t get it (with the exception of Juan Williams, who’s been on the verge of tears a number of times). If the message that’s coming out of this convention takes hold, it’s going to be because the word is spread on the ground, not over the airwaves.
