it only gets worse.
Thanks for the positive reinforcement.
it only gets worse.
If it makes you feel any better, I started feeling really old the other night when my friends and I were talking about how we've been out of high school for 2 years.
Uh, no.
Good Lord...
Uh, no.

Hey, as of last week, I officially only have 1 year to go before I can openly share a beer with you guys. However, I hate beer, so make mine a cosmo.
How do you know you hate beer, since you're not old enough to drink it yet?
Not sure but it will probably be at/around 9 ET, since Biden must be at/around/ after 10
Thanks! President Clinton is one of my favorite people, ever. I'm really interested to hear him speak, not only because he's a great orator, but because I want to hear how he'll come off in terms of supporting Obama.
Bill Clinton is the Democrats biggest asset.
The Obama people should be making nice with him if they want to improve their chances in the November election.
this whole role call thing is a whole lotta sad. do we really need to hear the lifelong accomplishments of Idaho? just say "potatoes!" and we'll get the point.
I Really only makes a difference to uber-political junkies like meself.
Idaho has accomplishments?

Has He Lost His Mind?
“Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.
The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' National Football League team plays.
Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington's Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president.
He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.”
The show should provide a striking image for the millions of Americans watching on television as Obama delivers a speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.
Politicians in past elections have typically spoken from the convention site itself, but the Obama campaign liked the idea of having their man speak to a larger, stadium-sized crowd not far from where the Democratic National Convention is being held, at the Denver pro basketball arena.
Obama was taking a page from the campaign book of John Kennedy in 1960 when the future president delivered his acceptance speech to 80,000 people in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Once Obama speaks, confetti will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations around the stadium wall.
Democratic convention organizers said the theme for the evening is "Change We Can Believe In," which has been a consistent message of Obama's presidential campaign.
Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson will sing the national anthem that night.

The Berlin folly -- in English.
The Superbowl Halftime Show -- without the game.
What's the finish? Maybe Obama’s got Zhang Yimou to do the hidden-rope trick, and have him lifted, Beijing-style, to the heavens when he’s done. Will he reappear three days later at the Bird’s Nest?
Or maybe he'll just do a Napoleon and coronate himself. By the time Napoleon made himself emperor, he had won the Battles of Lodi, of Arcole, of Rivoli, of the Pyramids and of Marengo. And had promugulated the Napoleonic Code. He had yet to write a single autobiography.
