| It's
campaign time again, folks. As it does every four years, our great political
machine turns over and gets ready for another election. People from all
walks of life are putting time, energy and, most importantly, cold, hard
cash toward the ultimate goal of electing a President. Important things
are about to be decided -- Who will run our country? Who will set our goals
for the next four years? Who will we all hate with the power of a thousand
suns by April 12, 2005 (assuming it takes that long)? Yes, it's an important
time of year, and as they do every four years, the two major parties kick
things off by holding conventions so mind-numbingly boring that a good 80%
of the country is in a coma by the time they're done. Don't think this is
an accident. Do you really believe either party wants us to be awake for
the electoral process? Does it help either party if there's an informed,
inquisitive electorate? Of course not. Hence, the 4-day sleep-a-thon the
Democrats are hosting in Boston starting Monday, July 26. Do you plan to
watch? Of course not. Should you? Of course not. Can you come here to find
out what you missed while you were off having a life? Of course. Will what
you find here be totally biased and probably only semi-informed? Of course.
Will reading it still beat watching the convention yourself? Of course.
So enough with the questions. Below is a list of Convention dates. Select
the appropriate date to find out what you missed during that day. Select
"Players" if you want to see a list of who's appearing at the
convention on any given day. Content will probably be updated several times
a day. Check back often to keep up. Thanks for stopping by! |
