The Convention Hasn’t Started, and Already I’m Exhausted August 14, 2000March 25, 2012 The Convention starts today. Several of you wrote good comments last week, suggesting I went overboard last week criticizing the Bush acceptance speech. You deserve a good answer, and I almost finished writing it over the weekend, but I don’t want to post it until I’ve had a chance to get it right. It’s been very hectic around here blowing up balloons and lettering signs. And now they want me to start shredding the colored paper to make confetti. Soon.
