Biden 9/5/08

Biden responds to the republican convention


I enjoyed this- wonder about the actual number of incidents the issues were discussed throughout the week, especially in comparison to the democratic convention. I don't think I watched enough of the convention to be able to compare myself, but the NYTimes had a few headlines to back him up:

Community Organizers Stung by Republican Barbs

McCain Vows to End ‘Partisan Rancor’

Tug of War Over Foreign Policy Approach

Old Friends in the Media See a New Side of McCain

Bush and Lieberman Hail McCain as a Leader

Hanna vs. Hash

"Hanna was expected to blow ashore early Saturday morning between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, N.C., then race up the Atlantic Coast, reaching New England by Sunday morning. Tropical storm watches or warnings ran from Georgia to Massachusetts, and included all of Chesapeake Bay, the Washington, D.C., area and Long Island.

"Ms. Hash arrived in Myrtle Beach on Thursday, ready to celebrate her 50th birthday with college friends from Colgate University at the Raiders football game against Coastal Carolina."

I don't know which part it is, exactly, that makes me want to turn away: that a foolish Ms. Hash flocks toward a storm; that she is celebrating her 50th birthday at a college football game in which no relative is participating; that she is 50 and reuniting with college friends for a momentous occasion; or just that the picture I formed of her "ready to celebrate her 50th birthday" is one of a beer scented woman without any family and a dead-end job, just the latest of a string that started not long after commencement. Get her, Hanna!

Gauss is a badass

My manlove for Gauss is well documented. I should devote an entire post to him, and someday I will. But for now, just go to Wikipedia's page on him and check out the "Known for" entry in the infobox. That's how you know you're awesome.
