Such crazy times.
Well, that was insane. Sara almost cried. Jim got caught by the Secret Service. And your editor didn’t have an actual seat, so he sat outside liveblogging various speeches, and then headed inside the thunderdome for Obama’s entrance. Let’s post a bunch of photos!

Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below ....
Not the best fireworks show, but the best fireworks show at an outdoor stadium presidential nominee acceptance speech!

Change the channel.
Organized teams of Obama Rebels gathered outside each section entrance just before Hopey’s speech to unfurl massive flags and set up the distribution of Hopey McChange signs. Then everybody just went nuts.

Safety Dance.
This kids was dancing in the craziest way, on the Level 2 walkways, with his two American flags. This was while Joe Biden was speaking.

Electric Bugaloo
And then, we think, he did a complete flip and somehow landed on his feet, all while your editor typed nonsense just four or five feet away.

America's Newspaper
So fucking patriotic.

What a flag.
Many strong men were needed to control some of these Giant Flags.

Well, the speech got me so riled up that my drunken attempts to woo the former Hillary campaigner who works in my Obama office now degraded into petty snide comments and her walking out of the bar.

She’ll be back.

Loser.

Did they search your laptop for contraband? If so what did they find?

Ew, Wonkette is written on elitist MacBooks. Black ones, even.

…those fireworks were on loan from the WWF! I half expected Stone Cold Steve Austin(which would kicked ass) or The Rock(which would have kicked even MORE ass!) to come out and talk smack about McBeat-Down!

[re=74710]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I would have been happy if the lights went all purple and a loud gong sounded right before Barry walked on stage.

The only thing more exciting than Barry’s speech was the Aramis Ramirez grand slam in the bottom of the eighth. Take that, Mr. Hopey Sox fan!

They didn’t need Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock. Barry did enough smackin down for the whole WWF.

So, how was the body cavity search? One hopes they used the appropriate amount of lubricant.

[re=74824]TGY[/re]: Probably not as much as they’ll use next week in Minneapolis.
