Reversion after last post

From Slate.msn's cartoon archive. It seems so true. Someone named Sack from the Star Tribune drew this. This really fits the criticism of both conventions... and I know I never said much about the Dem convention because I was hella lazy then - it was the Summer and I had no time constraints, no urge to blog about much of it -- except for mainly the whole Balloons incident. Heh. So, the Dem convention didn't get the same kind of attention here, and it had nothing to do with biases on that, it was about laziness.

And after that rant earlier and conversation with Joe it allowed the more impartial part of me to come back in. The me that is Independent, that doesn't (at least for the next fifteen minutes) indulge in naive hopes of happiness. Sometimes I see these huge biases, and my mind works around them, reaclamating me to the realistic way I usually look at things.

NR363avs (3:57:47 PM): my mind's been warped so much in the last few years that I question too much, and don't really trust practically anyone who I don't know

Semi related note: One thing I like that is not exclusive to one party is good speech writing. Both parties have it (there wouldn't be two parties still if they didn't). Even if I don't agree with the message or blatant lies I can't really deny a well written speech its dues at effectiveness; as well as the craftsmanship it takes for a writer to make it convincing, grabbing, and inspiring, even if the messages are, again, comprised of blatant lies or half lies.

Good speech writing, like any good piece of propoganda, plays on peoples gullibility -- or at least tries to.
