Isolation Thought

Not that I keep track of these items, but this is the 100th Anniversary edition of my blog. I got some affirmation from the urban community about my car. While I was pumping gas, a mover named Mustafa told me:

b) I had a sweet car.
c) "What is it? German?"

The Democrats hold their convention this week in Boston. I have been watching these things for a long time and I kind of miss the conventions that used to be the final hurdle in the nomination process. I hate it when Kerry has been the known candidate for months ahead of time. You always knew who the candidate was in the past, but there was always a threat that some crazy nut would derail the whole thing by having his state vote for Governor Brown of California. I think the Plain Dealer had a quote where it is more of a trade show than a convention these days. The candidate and platform are determined well in advance and it's become an opportunity for major party donors to advertise their wares. But, I will be watching.

Here is the who's who of convention protestors.

The potential fight of the year, Gatti-Dorin, was pretty much the disappointment of the year. Gatti KOs Dorin with a body punch. I love Gatti and it was a great punch, but it was like when Scott Elarton pitches for the Indians. Lots of anticipation, inevitably ending in disappointment.
