Immigrant Song.
(Ghost in the Machine blog)
Ah-nuld: "If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government, then you are a Republican."

(I love the Ghost's re-construction of Schwarzenegger's patterned, well-rehearsed monologue at the RNC the other day, especially the part about: "If you're an immigrant bodybuilder who made it to the top of his field through hard work, discipline, and the judicious application of enough steroids to kill a small horse, then you are a Republican." Ah-nuld is an actor, and a body builder who used drugs to win in his sport. Furthermore, he became governor of Cali in one of the phoniest election scams in modern American history. Exactly what has he ever done, in the public eye, that is actually real? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? )

Kobe case dismissed at request of prosecution
(ESPN.com)
The Kobe Bryant case collapsed Wednesday as prosecutors said they had no choice but to drop the sexual assault charge against the NBA star because the woman accusing him could no longer participate.

(Blockbuster. Now let the analysis of legal pundits rain down upon us explaining why this case fell apart. Moreover, given the cocksure fervor that local authorities displayed in pressing charges initially, why did they flake like punks in the eleventh hour? We all want the truth. Can you handle the truth, you know, the one where race had nothing to do with it? Oh, sorry, I think that was the fantasy.)

Bush Daughters a Bust
(TalkLeft blog)
Bush Daughters a Bust: Some quotes - "How crass were the Bush girls - no sophistication, no depth, no shame. Like father, like daughters. Karl Rove messed up on that 'speech.' Or this - "The Twins were a disaster, Laura was mechanical and stiff. Hopefully their disasterous performances will end the extended family campaigning."

(Apparently the reviews of FLOTUS and Bush Twins' RNC appearance did more harm than good. I've yet to watch one second of any of these propagandaventions; I guess I'm not missing much. Maybe, like I did with the DNC, I can review the highlights (and lowlights) of the RNC with my own ears if the speeches get posted on iTunes. For what it's worth, the soundbites of Ah-nuld sound like he really moved the crowd; he definitely does spew his well-rehearsed rhetoric with power and rhythm; maybe it's genetic.

Indians 22, Yankees 0
(ESPN.com)
Cleveland Indians routed New York 22-0 Tuesday night in the largest loss in the 101-year history of the Yankees.

(Yankee fans, uh, I think we have a problem. And October is just around the corner. )
