"Drill, baby, drill."

Just kidding. I was simultaneously amused and frightened when the crowd began chanting that during Governor Palin's speech. I suppose at least that was a somewhat novel chant; the cries of "USA" that kept interrupting Senator McCain's speech were hardly creative.

It seems that I can't post on any topics unrelated to the election! That is what happens, I suppose, when my evenings over much of the past two weeks have been spent listening to convention speeches. It really is a rather diverting pastime -- though one that has only solidified my support for the Democratic party.
