WHORING: Is your editor staying in suburban Englewood and claiming to be an Ivy League shortish person looking for a girlfriend on Craigslist? Gawker commenters think so! [Gawker]
It was a hard-fought primary, but in the end, Bill Clinton’s old Arkansas magic just couldn’t work another time. So now he’s stuck with a boring old prime time slot on the second-to-the-last night of the convention, yammering about national security when he really wants to talk about math and numbers and dollars like he [...]
In honor of National Security Night, sixteen billion riot police were deployed outside Pepsi Center. We saw some protesters, too! They had the usual “No blood for oil” type signs, and many were shirtless. So of course we took a picture of the boring old police. Your editor has perhaps the worst seat in the [...]
This convention has been an unmitigated disaster. It is now about to get worse. They are holding the fake nomination roll call and floor vote to “determine” the presidential nominee, until Hillary Clinton fake calls it off, or something. It’s the Hilltards’ last shot at glory! Here goes.

Here is delightful Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer cracking wise about John McCain’s eleventy billion back yards, and how they cannot make America energy independent. This guy was adorable, with his bolo tie and his “I am a used car salesman, but a used car salesman from 1950, when it was still wholesome” demeanor. Wasn’t there [...]
Of course not, because the Pepsi Center is an enclosed sports arena! But she did give a speech, and she seems to endorse that young fellow from Communist Egypt. We did liveblogging from the DNC — here’s Part I and Part II — and now brave Jim and Sara will spend nine hours trying to [...]
