The first night of the Democratic Convention has come and gone. It was, interesting and a touching. Senator Edward Kennedy, proved himself to be the fierce old Lion and quite likely the last of the Kennedy dynasty to achieve that title. He might be remembered as the "Kennedy in Winter." I don't necessarily agree with his politics and I haven't always admired his actions, but he does present a noble bearing of sorts and as a man that is dying, I thought him to be quite brave.
Michelle Obama was lovely. Sometimes her speech, seemed a little disjointed, but never the less, it seemed natural. I believed she came from a family just like mine, but her Mom never had to work and she, herself, had no after school or summer jobs. No, that not at all like me, but more like Beaver Cleaver's family. I am sure she came from a very good family and she did mention her husband quite a lot, who is the candidate for the highest office in the land. Their daughters are adorable and that always gets to me. Michelle looked lovely and I was glad to see her choice in clothes. Very feminine, very flattering.
Tomorrow night will be interesting, (I hope) with Chelsea Clinton introducing her mother, Senator Hillary Clinton. I am not sure I have ever heard Chelsea Clinton speak before? I am sure Hillary will be noble and gallant, but will Bill Clinton be, the following night? We shall see.
So when the Democrats party, they do not seem to be having much fun, so far. Could this be the "Change," they keep talking about? Or have they not even gotten the party started? Maybe they need to call on that infamous "truth or dare" girl who once called herself a "boy toy," to entertain them. The half century old, singer, dancer, self promoter, Modona. She would do anything to promote her latest tour. She would even "dixiechick" a war hero. But that is all right, she knows what it is like to be held captive. Remember her first marriage?
