I’ve been moving for a week now.  Moving sucks.  When you’re twenty something and you’re moving into your first place or a cooler hipper place it sucks.  The older you get the more it sucks.  You accumulate more stuff plus you start to realize what it means when people talk about your mind writing checks your body can’t cash.  Frankly as far as my body is concerned I’m overdrawn.

Fortunately I have two teenage sons.  Ah the beauty of reproduction.  They’ve been great at providing the muscle.  Now if I could only get unpacked.  That’s another thing about moving–you always lose stuff and you sometimes find stuff that’s been lost since the last time you moved.  I guess it’s one of life’s fringe benefits.

What with moving and all, I’ve been sort of out of touch with the goings on of the rest of t he world.  Imagine my surprise to start reading all my Internet sites and find the the DNC is preparing for their convention like the East Germans prepared for an invasion during the cold war.  Apparently they have analyzed all forms of protest worldwide and are preparing counter measures for them.  I suppose the surveillance helicopters, tanks and the Gitmo like detention facility for protesters factor into their counter measures.  It all begs asking though, just who are they expecting to be protesting?

I don’t know about you but I have as much interest in the DNC as a enema.  I mean it’s not like it’s a mystery who’s going to be the nominee.  But then I wouldn’t even watch it if they were doing it in a Survivor format, although that certainly might garner more ratings.  So who are they expecting to protest?  Domestic terrorists?  Come on, don’t they have a tree to save somewhere?  And Obama is so far left he makes Hillary look right, so they ought to love him.  Foreign terrorists?  Hey, they  have pictures of him in mosques in Iran urging members to pray for his success.

No, its just more of the Democratic self interest that makes them think everybody finds them as interesting as they themselves do.  Their little convention is like a small town wannabe putting on the dog and you watch, nobody is going to care.  Oh, the networks will be there and the reporters will write about it like they are expected to.  But the rest of us? Sorry, Paris Hilton’s comic video spoof was a lot more interesting.  At least she did something original.  Are you listening Hillary?
