Well, Bush is set to give a "major" speech Monday night....

Can you say... MAKE-UP!

I guess we'll see.

Btw, it's aim is to elevate the mood of the public.

In what may prove to be an interesting experiment, I'd like you all to note your mood on Monday morning. One is bad, 5 is good.

Then, on Tuesday morning, do the same and note the change.

Who needs prozac when ya gotz BOOSH?

Just for comparison's sake, Martlet, what's the price-tag on the Republican convention?

I saw that. I was referring to the estimated economic loss , though, not the price tag.

Then the incredible inconvenience with a large portion of the city, including the major commuter roads/rails, being shut down.

I'm not sure. I honestly haven't heard. I'll look around. I'm assuming it's not as bad since NYC is larger, so even if there are road closures it won't affect the whole city, and the Dems haven't been throwing it around.

Maybe it just hasn't been released yet.

from the Boston Herald
The Herald reported yesterday security costs for the four-day event at the FleetCenter are soaring and expected to exceed $40 million.

Is Kerry still thinking about delaying the acceptance a month? Last I heard he was thinking of internet voting a month after the convention and accepting then so that the 75 MM price cap on the fall campaign would equalize demo spending with Bush.

The networks wish to cover the convention will be lessened considerably if they are not going to nominate at a nomination convention. So if they are not going to get a few hours of daily prime time for a week, why are the gathering at all?

It could be brilliant.

Cuz it's wacky.

Millions tuned in... "Will he? Won't he?"

Then finally he steps up and says "Maybe".

An historic aberation.

A month and several million dollars later, he says "Sure."

I wish they wouldn't. It's going to make work impossible for me.

It wasn't a mouth guard. It was a muzzle.

Actually, that sounds like a heckuva fall. Bikes are such graceful environmentally enhancing precision machines except when the slightest anomaly makes them turn on their riders.

Even now, in certain isolated mountain areas there are some wild bikes that have never been ridden.

What do you do, Martlet?

Just outta curiousity.

(this thread is on full hyjack alert, just so ya know.

I don't have seniority to get that time off, so i'm going to have to try to get through it. I'm with Romney on this, I hope he holds his ground. I really hate the inconvenience myself, but in some ways we need this to work if we ever want to someday host something like the Olympics. The 2000 DNC was a 147 million dollar net gain for LA area businesses, so it is yet to be seen, that article seemed to point out businesses that would not benefit from the DNC. So time will tell I guess, but I was all for the CC because it was built to bring big events to the hub(although a political convention is not what I had in mind), so I guess I would be a hypocrite to complain about it. But the thought of being stuck in traffic in Boston on what very well could be a 100 degree day, sux, big time. Ok, i'm a hypocrite.

I might have to go see Dr. summeroff

or maybe he should learn how to ride better or something...as long as the bike is in working condition it doesnt really make much difference (in circumstances where a person could fall and not lose face) if its a trek or a ccm...

you have to speak to republicans in their own language. when talking to a republican the proper term is flip-flopping. they say it so much they sound like seagulls.

many people think an open mind is a good thing, but when dealing with republicans if they see where someone changed their mind or offered a different opinion on a similar subject, they race to be the first to yell "FLIP-FLOP", then the rest chime in and repeat it like seagulls on a herring "flip-flop,flip-flop,flip-flop,flip-flop,flip-flop,flip-flop,flip-flop,flip-flop"

they'll never understand your point if you don't talk like the rest of the group or herd or flock.

I agree...you're wrong on this but I agree with your point although I think you're wrong.

(Just keeping an open mind)
