I have friends who religously watch conventions — me I can’t stand them.  I’ll watch on the night of the candidate speech, but other than that there’s very little about political conventions I care to see.  It’s not as if I’ll hear anything new, anything I can’t read about the next day on a myriad of blogs.

Last night was an exception.  I wanted to see what Michelle Obama did in her first major speech before millions of people.  By God, she did a hell of a job.  It certainly won’t stop the right wing idiots from spewing their bullshit, but anyone who watched that speech last night and still believe Michelle Obama isn’t a citizen who loves her country they never will; moreover, nothing will ever change their mind so they’re a lost cause.  Mrs. Obama did well last night.
