Nerf-Coated World

A rustling tumbleweed, perhaps

Does anyone really give a crap, really, about this whole Democratic National Convention thingy going on in Boston this past week? I mean seriously. Was there a single person in America who woke up any day this week saying: "I wonder what JFKerry is gonna say tonight!!!?" Or Barack Obama, or John Edwards, or Ted Kennedy? I mean, sure, there are some people whose speeches could have been interesting, and therefore might have been attended with some anticipation....

But really, did this overcovered overhyped hoopla really make a single difference in anyone's lives? I'd rather doubt it.
