Yesterday's post, somewhat improved when I beefed it up at Daily Kos, got on the "most recommended" list, embolding me to try again with this little item, also crossposted at DK.

If you were sleeping, on vacation or had to go to work yesterday, I can fill you in on what you missed.

Daytime:  Clinton, Clinton, Clinton.  She's trying, he's crying, some of her supporters care nothing about anything, other than that she should have been the nominee.

One of them even cut a commercial for McCain, but cannot explain why. (See link above)

(Before anybody o gets too exercised about people who insists that only their choice deserves to be the nominee, despite what the rest of the party thinks, please recall the anguished comments made when some of us decided to switch our support to Sen Obama when it appeared that Senator Edwards could not win.)

Nightime: 

Contrary to the views of the egocentric, self-centered buffoon who, thanks to the Bush family and the movie actor who preceeded them, appears to have been the best president of the past two decades, the party---the actual Democratic Party--- does not belong to them, but to the rightful heirs of the legacy of the greatest president of them all:  Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

We have been beaten by television pontificators who believe the history of our country began when they got their first job in the news business, into believing that the New Deal, the Fair Deal, the New Frontier and the Great Society is dead, when it is all around us even today, absorbed by the very people who pronounced any effort to help our citizens to be a variant of socialism or worse, but under constant attack.

President Kennedy knew better and reminded us, as only someone "born in this [20th] century" could by 1961, of the critical need of our citizens to act together for the good of all.  Senator Kennedy showed us last night that that dream remains quite alive.

and then Michelle Obama, said to be a known terrorist and black power fanatic who hates whiteys, told us what happens when government does what it should to make our society as just as it can be:  it produces Michelle and Barack Obamas.

Trying to make America fear them is as disgraceful and repulsive as anything I have seen in watching politics since the inauguration of 1961 and in what I have read about what came before.

Day One is over.  It will be hard to top but yet.....
