Why I’m Not Writing about the DNC

Short answer: Because if I want good kayfabe, I'll watch professional wrestling.

Longer answer: There hasn't been any significant news from conventions in over 40 years.  They are stultifying and boring, and I am not in the mood to pretend otherwise.

The Democratic National Convention, much like the Republican National Convention, is like every other convention.  To quote Keith Olbermann:

They are exactly like the conventions of every other business organization in this country, from the American Psychiatric Association conference to the wholesale beard, hair brush, manufacture and supply Cartel. 

They are vacations you can write off as tax deductions.

Meh.
