Sir Charles

I'm not a big fan of the NBA, but I have always liked Charles Barkley. Sometimes he can be over the top in his comments, but he does not hesitate to speak his mind. Most of the time he's funny and pretty damn clever. Check out a rather low-key interview with Charles at the Dems Convention.

Thanks, Hillary.

I admit that I had doubts about Hillary Clinton's headlining speech at the Dem Convention tonight. I have always supported Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate for President because I believe in him and his principles. Tonight is the first time that I believed in what Hillary Clinton has said. I finally believe that she fully and genuinely supports Barack Obama.

Thanks, Hillary.

Here Come the Dems

Every 4 years in August, I am glued to the tube. I love the Summer Olympics (and Winter too) and I love political conventions. I especially enjoy the convention coverage on PBS.

Yes, I'm a dork.

The Olympics represent the best in sportsmanship, global community, and genuine human kindness. I love it! I'm going to try my best to get to Vancouver in 2010 for the Winter Olympics.

Today is the first day of the Democratic National Convention. Four years ago, I watched the speech by Barack Obama and I started to believe in our government again. I'm excited for the week of great speeches and great stories.

Right now I'm watching Caroline Kennedy's introduction of the Ken Burns' tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy. More blogging later...
