Last week Aaron and I watched the Republican Convention. It was interesting.
My favorite part of the convention: When Sarah Palin's youngest daughter got to hold Trig the baby. While the rest of the family was busy watching their Mom's speech, Piper dutifully licked her hand and began to smooth Trig's hair to his scalp with her spit. In a few minutes Trig's hair was darkly plastered to his skull with out a single fly away. It was hilarious and I am so sad that no one seemed to get a good picture of it.
Second to that was probably McCain himself. I still think he's the best of the lot of them and I am SOOO happy he won the nomination.
My least favorite part of the convention: When the whole crowd began chanting "Drill, Baby, Drill! Drill, Baby, Drill!" and holding up signs that said Drill Now!! and We've Got Lots! It gave me the shivers. Big Oil doesn't have the Republican party in their back pocket...
And secondly if I have to hear the story about Cindy McCain adopting Bridget one more time I will go insane. I think it is a really admirable and impressive thing she did but for the Reps to keep harping on it cheapens it into some bizarre political move. I rather hear some more war stories from McCain even if I already hear those every night at dinner from Aaron. (Want to know the specifics about McCain's injuries? Ask me, I know them allllll.)

Jon Stewart did a segment about the spit-on-baby's-hair incident. So funny! It was fun seeing you guys the other night - hope we can do it again soon.
we caught some of the convention. sarah palin is very impressive. i don't like her politics much, but she is very impressive. i guess i have to agree that i like mccain best of all the republican candidates, but after hearing the other "big three" speak i have to admit that i really don't like any of them too much. although, strangely, the squirrely gulliani actually gave a really good speech i thought. where did that come from?
this will be interesting.
