Conventional Wisdom

Like the DNC earlier, the RNC has consumed a lot of my television watching time (not that there is a whole lot of that) lately. These conventions have been a mixture of speeches both mediocre and phenomenal, surrounded by people wearing crazy clothes and hats holding up homemade signs, on stages that are dazzling displays of neon and LCDs. Although the Democrats had the cooler looking stage, I like how the GOPers have a mostly simple background behind thier speakers. You can't really get distracted from the boring (I mean, informative) speeches.

The point of this post, though, is the amount of fun that the delegates and convention-goers seem to be having. Watching these old ladies, high powered businessmen and politicians and regular joe types dance around like a bunch of crazy kids is hilarious! They wave their signs and their hands, clapping and smiling all the while. I don't know when the last time I had that much fun was! It is clear by watching these people...political conventions are the place to be!

I love seeing old people party! Especially conservative ones! :-)

My favorite was the journalist who got covered by balloons cause she was so small. It was the best!
