Non-baseball: Why, yes. Yes it is.
I couldn't help myself:
Why yes. Yes it is.
I watched the official nomination of Kerry tonight, and "over the top" is an apt description. In fact, it's an apt description of the entire convention these days (note: I'm not being partisan here- both conventions are growing more tedious and pointless with each election cycle). Nothing of any importance is decided. Nothing of any importance is said. But it sure does have the look of great importance, doesn't it?
Obviously I never agreed with most of what the liberals had to say, but the Democratic convention was still fun to watch (I'm one of those people who enjoys yelling at the television). However this year the rhetoric has been watered down to the extent that I can't even get worked-up anymore. You can see it in the speakers' eyes- they have something interesting to say- but you can also see the strings being worked from above, holding them back. Apparently the Kerry campaign has decided that a political convention isn't the place for political statements.
So why do I still watch? I have no clue. Must be the balloons.
