The End Of The Conventions: What I Forgot To Mention During the RNC
So, speeches are over, the balloons have dropped, the Republicans have abandoned Minneapolis-St. Paul with almost as much alacrity as they once did New Orleans and it's time for another listicle of shit I wish I'd found a reason to write about before now. More » -

We Laughed, We Cried, We Threw Things At The Television: The Conventions And Commentary
I'm sitting here in the Minneapolis Airport, having a beer (or two) and catching up on all the many, many, many comments I missed this week because my internet connection was tenuous at best and instead of reading you guys, I went drinking. So, this afternoon, I decided to combine the two activities I did the most this week — writing and drinking — and shout out some of my favorite comments from the threads Anna told me I just had to read.

Liveblogging John McCain (And Cindy Lou Who)
Stop! It's Maverick time! Cindy will introduce the film to introduce her husband who will apparently talk forever and a day but I am such a dedicated blogger that I will mock the thing in its entirety while the energy brought to me by my bag of Twizzlers and my double cappuccino slowly dies, like the light in my eyes and the hope in my heart.

Liveblogging The Boys of Republicana
In order to make my life worth living and the liveblog tenable, I stopped for a double cappuccino and missed Mel Martinez speak. Actually, I didn't "miss" him so much as I looked up and realized — unlike the rest of the crowd — that he was speaking. The rest of the crew, though, I paid attention to andmy liveblogyour conversation starts after the jump. More » -

Hey Carly Fiorina, Who Exactly Is Holding My Uterus Hostage?
Last weekend, McCain surrogate Carly Fiorina told women to stop allowing the Democrats to win their votes on the issue of abortion, saying, "The Democratic Party has done a disservice to women by trying to hold women hostage to the issue of Roe v. Wade." In Carly's world view (and in her speech last night), the issue is the economy, not abortion. Carly might have been the only person at the RNC last night for whom abortion isn't that important an issue. More » -
Dear McCain Handlers, Please let Roberta McCain talk to reporters again. Not because she'll lose her son the Presidency — we think he might be able to do that himself — but because the campaign is more fun for everyone, including your candidate, when it's not all scripted and boring. It'll totally fit with your meme that John speaks his mind, and Roberta can tell charming stories about buying cars in France and when Johnny was naughty as a kid and Paris Hilton and we can hate him marginally less because we like cool old ladies. In fact, can you work with Biden's people to get Mama Biden and Roberta to do their own talk show? [Raw Story]

Conventional Crap: Vice-Presidential Viagra? Palin Stiffens The Dick Of The RNC
This conventioneering thing is almost done, and, sadly, so am I. Despite the barn burning, roof-raising, political cock-stiffening speech that Alaska governor Sarah Palin gave at the Republican convention last night, I am still tired (and slightly late to my own crappy party) this morning. Luckily, HuffPo blogger Jason Linkins always waits for me and has funny things to say; after the jump we talk Palin, Rudy, Palin, McCain, Palin, Huckabee, and more Palin. More » -

Liveblogging Sarah Palin's Acceptance Speech
Sarah Palin is taking the stage tonight to give the most important speech of her political career. And if the shouting crowds (and my utter lack of a internet connection as I type this) are anything to go by, there's not going to be an Eagleton moment. Anyway, it seems like I'll apparently be posting this after it's over, what with the complete lack of internet access that started when she took the stage, but that's the way the Internet crumbles. (UPDATE: A hard restart, um, restarted my modem! This bitch is back, too!) More » -

Liveblogging Rudy Giuliani, Ferret-Hater Extraordinaire
The bitch is back, baby! The Secret Service has cleared all ferrets from a 10 block radius, the word "9/11" waits for its opportunity to shine and somewhere, Judith Nathan lies in wait to sink her claws back into her sugar daddy. Or mommy, whatever. More » -

Liveblogging Romneybot 3000
Mitt Romney once seemed poised to be John McCain's Number 2, and not in the poopy way, but Sarah Palin reportedly got Joe Lieberman's sloppy seconds and Mitt Romney was left holding his balls after trying to curry favor for months with the guy he hated and who hated him. But enough people love their Mitt that he got a convention speaking slot to... accomplish whatever it is these speaking spots are supposed to accomplish Those accomplishments, or lack thereof, are after the jump.
