Love Train!
So, the states aren’t even remotely following what their elections were. New Hampshire and New Jersey just unanimously cast their delegate votes for Obama. This is utterly insane. The homeslice from New Mexico went off in Espanol and then was about to cast their votes and then dramatically yielded to the LAND OF LINCOLN….. Then listed off their entire state executive branch…. Then Illinois went after passing earlier… And then Illinois went crazy and predicted that the Cubs and the White Sox would be in the world series, and then Illinois yielded to New York (home of Hillary Clinton) and then everything went crazy nuts. And then Hillary Clinton and Governor Patterson started working their way through the crowd. And in a moment of utter surprise Hillary Clinton was introduced (after some guy introduced everyone from New York by name… literally everyone from Governor to Senators to Attorney General to the Controller)…..
And Hillary Clinton on behalf of the great state of New York, with eyes on the future, in the spirit of Unity, asked the convention to nominate Obama by Acclaim! And they panned to all these middle age women crying. Hillary Clinton asked that the Roll Call be suspended… all votes be counted.. and that Obama be nominated by Acclaim. Then there was a huge chant of Hillary Hillary Hillary!!! But it didn’t really take off that much. Like not as much as I was worried about. And then the Secretary leading the Roll Call stepped aside and Nancy Pelosi asked for a Second, and everyone said Aye, and then asked for all in favor to say Aye, and enough said Aye and that was that.
You heard it here first on JLNN.com
And now they are playing Love Train. I wonder if my generation’s politicians will play Emo, or Hardcore Rap when we start running for high office.

Boos at the Convention.
Not for Clinton or Obama. For the Patriots and Red Socks. Seriously, Massachusetts delegation, it’s cool that you’re the home of Ted Kennedy. But do you have to bring in your sports teams?

Home of….
Ok, so Kansas pointed out that they were the home state of Obama’s parents.
Louisiana pointed out that they were the home state of Gumbo and Jambalaya.
Seriously.

Roll Call
I’m watching the DNC Roll Call vote on CSPAN. And this thing is crazy. It’s like Kabuki Theatre. Every state gives a little speech about how cool they are and what they’ve contributed to the Democratic party. And some of the delegates talk about what they are and who they are and stuff. Then they cast their votes, most for Obama, some for Clinton. It’s just really strange.
Wait….. Illinois just passed?!?! You can Pass?! Is this Scrabble?! I’m so confused.

How Do I Become A Talking Head?
So, I watched Hillary Clinton’s speech at the DNC. And Katie and I were talking about it at length. I made several points about the intricacies of her speech, what she said, what she didn’t, how good the speech was, blah blah blah.
As we went back into the living room, some guy named Alex with an ugly mustache made every single point I had just made to Katie. So, who’s got the line on being a talking head on CNN or something?
Anderon Cooper?? Do you read this? Gimme a job homeslice! I know you’re down, I saw you and Kathy Griffin interact behind the scenes on New Year’s. I know you’re the homie. Gimme a shot!

The Same Ol’ Faces in Same Ol’ Places.
Today was Law Review orientation. We had some great pumpkin muffins. Then we learned a little bit about the actual mechanics of Law Review. Then we were divided into teams. I was surprised to learn that half of my negotiation class is #1 in Law Review, and #2 on my team. The only are only two non-negotiation people on my team, and one is a girl from my Con Law class (who was one of the other two write-on winners).
It’s just weird to keep running into the same people over and over again. I only know a little over a quarter of the new Law Review people, and I’m in a group with almost everyone in that group. It’s strange.
Cue Twilight Zone theme.

I Never Knew….
…that Kermit The Frog was voiced by Jim Leach, former Republican Representative from Iowa.
Seriously, turn on the DNC and listen!
