Convention Update
Looks like I blew it. I thought I could get passes into the Democratic National Convention but it turns out I can't; I missed the official deadline and no one seems to know a way to get passes anyway.
I did just get off the phone with the Republicans and they think they can work with us, so those of you who thought you'd like to attend the RNC for us, stay tuned and I'll be getting back to you.
Sorry for the screwup on my part. Although if anyone's got an "in" with the DNC please let me know. Dean's World currently bounces between #11 and #20 on a daily basis in the ecosystem and got 1,605,718 hits last month, 1,423,392 so far in June, and we intend to take this seriously and not as a hack job or joke.
I can't cover the Republican convention for you, but I'd be happy to cover the demonstrations. Of course, with the draconian anti-free speech security they have planned, your living room will probably be closer to Madison Square Garden than I will. Plus I doubt very much I would provide you with the pro-Bush slant you'd be looking for. But I thought I'd offer...
Given that you're a picture-perfect example of a lock-step, blinkered, hate-mongering partisan, Don, I wouldn't invite you. You lack sufficient human decency.
Now was that nice? A simple "no thank you" would have been sufficient. Is that how your mother raised you?
It's not nice because you're a vicious scumbag, Don.
Go read someone else's blog, would ya?
I'm completely non-partisan. Send me to either the Republicans' or the Democrats' conventions, and I promise I'll give you the most negative, hate-filled, vitriolic, vituperative coverage I can come up with. If I'm not so bored that I'm sleeping or something else, that is.
Dean, count me in.
Though, er, actually I may want to use a joke or two, so ...
