Thinking of the Democratic National convention, I see nothing wrong with the message, the party platform, or the candidates -- it was great. I'm in a cranky mood what with all the negativity and nitpicking and emotion. Why is it so hard for people to be objective? America loves bullshit, I guess. Now we have to live in the Opposite World of Republicans because something about the Democratic Party not being perfect, whatever the hell that means. Bullshit. Bah Humbug.
