Three things about the DNC:
1. All the other networks have coverage of the convention, but C-SPAN has the actual convention. The only thing better would be pulling raw network feeds with one of those giant satellite dishes. Note that I didn't say being there.
2.
Friends in Boston have had about enough of the traffic, media circus and assorted hassles.
2. I keep hoping to see
Jessamyn in the crowd shots.
3. Just like it might be a good time to reread '
The Boys on the Bus' and '
Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72,' it might also be a good time to revisit P.J. O'Rourke's essay about national party conventions from '
Parliament of Whores.'
