One more night of lies and Mittrepresentations to get thru. Lord give me the strength....

I'll say one thing for BullshitFest 2012 though.
I thought I was fired up before
but these rat bastards have stoked my furnace to the boiling point
and I'm about to go full throttle til Nov.
Who's with me?

Seriously, why drive up your bloodpressure and ruin a perfectly good evening. You already know the gist of what these fools are going to say, and you can read the speech transcripts later if you really want to know the details.

Sorry, but unless something truly interesting is going to happen, I know longer bother with watching political conventions of either party. At best they're boring, at worst infuriating. It simply isn't worth it.

and tonight is Impact Wrestling. Haven't seen a second of the Quadrennial KKKlavern. Much easier and better for my blood pressure and my TV to follow the bigoted idiocy here at DU and reading Charlie Pierce over at Esquire.
