    Default FOX ALERT!

    They are telling us that Bill Clinton is going to speak. What the eff is up with calling it an alert and putting it in a red background. Is that so all their viewers can turn the channel to reruns of Hee Haw?

    Interesting. I just heard on NPR they were saying it was weird that the DNC hadn't scheduled bill for prime time, and they speculated that he may force himself into the prime time slot.

    Looks like he just did.

    It keeps us watching because many people want to hear what he has to say.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    And then later they can tell us how wrong he is because he got a blow job in the oval office.

    I doubt that. But you are the one watching so why don't you tell us about it.

    Bill is doing a very good job. And it seems like he specifically got his talking points from the list of what was "missing" from Hillary's speech.

    He is ready, etc...

    I agree. I like how he said "Last night Hillary told us in no uncertain terms...".

    Clears up any lingering doubt from people like you who apparently see eye rolling everywhere.

    I'd say he did a good job building a framework for arguments, probably the best case for Obama from this convention to date.

    Damn I normally think of Kerry as a wooden plank, but he is really kicking some ass in this speech.

    Watch C-SPAN. The network and cable news commentators and horrendous.

    I also don't understand why they all go to the conventions just to speak over the convention speakers. Couldn't they do that from the studio? And shouldn't they be listening to the speeches so that they can cover the convention, not just a handful of speakers?
