Mushroom Soup Tuesday

I made up that graphic in case I needed to declare a Mushroom Soup Day while I was at the con but I never got around to doing that. So I just decided it also applies to getting too busy to post right after the con as, today, I attempt to do some of the things I neglected while in San Diego.

Hey, how about that great Michelle Obama speech last night at the Democratic Convention? First really great speech I heard at either of them. And were the newsfolks — even on MSNBC — trying to interview only the most stubborn, clueless Bernie Sanders supporters? I know smart people who backed the guy. Heck, I voted for him. But I got the feeling that all the media decided "the story" was or would be about dead-enders who would never give up the dream; who thought that 45% of the vote is a majority; that Hillary is not for (or not really for) a lot of the things she's said she's for; and that Bernie Sanders is absolutely right about every single thing except that he's lost and you should vote for Ms. Clinton.

And I love Sarah Silverman. I'm not sure that telling people they're being ridiculous is the best way to get them to adopt your point-o'-view but I still love Sarah Silverman.

I'll try to get back here later today.
