The Convention and all that Jazz

Well, don't expect an analysis or summary of Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech just as yet. I missed it on the television, so I just watched it and I loved it. I'll probably write about it over the next few days, but it remains one of the best speeches I've come across. No outright criticism, clear policies, straight talk and a genuine desire for change. And add to that a mind-boggling stadium with 84,000 people, wow.

You really got to hear it or at least read it.

And there's this recent commercial from John McCain that goes on to "blast the Obama children for smiling and giggling but refusing to state their position on offshore oil drilling."

Sheesh.
