Apologies for light blogging. Our TV and computer are on opposite sides of the house, and we haven't gone wireless yet, so it's always been too late to blog when I turn off the TV.
That said, let me say what I think of the convention so far:
Fine speeches by everyone I've heard (I missed Monday night, but read Rudy Giuliani's speech later).
Arnold Schwarzenegger's speech was fantastic. I'd like to own that one on video. Zell Miller's and Dick Cheney's too, though Senator Miller upstaged the Vice President. I'm sure he won't mind in November.
I was reading a critique of Miller's speech in The Nation this morning. They make a comment that Miller lied about Kerry's post-war testimony, that he wasn't attacking veterans, but rather the Pentagon. Yeah, right.
Laura Bush gave a fine speech, but I can't remember any of her lines. Her speech was excellent for the grace and dignity she portrayed. She makes me proud of my Texas heritage. The Bushes are former "neighbors" of mine - I grew up in Hereford Tx, and they're from Midland, about 200 miles south. When I was in college at Texas Tech, George Bush ran for Congress in my district.
No blogging till next week. Have a wonderful Labor Day.
