Rubber chicken for 2500, plus another five thousand watching them eat.

It really is good, old-fashioned Democratic fun. I attended it many times when I was a young one.

Ouch. I suppose by comparison, annual blackouts aren't so bad.

Bank holidays piss me off.

I'm interested in the role of good speeches in this campaign. It seemed not too long ago that Clinton's speech was the clincher:

Of course I want to support my home-state democrats.. but when I caught a chunk of the dinner on CSPAN I was unfortunate enough to tune in just as Lt. Gov. Patty Judge was speaking (er... I'm so used to calling her Patty Sludge) and she is a poor, poor speaker. So boring! Chet was only slightly more entertaining.
