Should we listen to the Palin speech?
I am going to boycott the live speech on cable. The reason is the Republicans are expecting big numbers so they can exploit them. They have been hyping this "introduction to this woman" although they could have presented her for an interview long before tonight. I understand she has been kept in hiding being drilled by the likes of Leiberman on foreign policy and the speech was prewritten with only the masculine portions being changed. I will watch the repeat of the speech later, when the numbers won't count.

13. No, wisteria

the dog is now totally hoarse from barking at all the despicable LIARS. He can tell a scum sucking pig when he sees one.

Besides, Cindy's latest fashion choices have caused him a lot of distress. He can also spot an aging porn queen from a mile away. Good dog.

11. I'm not a Nielson household...
...so it matters not if I watch. And I will, until I get so ill that I pass out and choke on my vomit.

12. Unless you are a nelson family... not watching WILL NOT make a difference in their numbers
but it will in your awareness of what the enemy is doing.

Rethug mouth breathers can't use the internets, so any number will be insignificant.

RE: The Numbers.


There's plenty of time to watch it later. This isn't historical - Ferraro did this when I was 11. It's no big whoopty do.

So I refuse to watch it in real time.
