What was that TV show where Geena Davis was an unlikely female VP is thrust into the presidency after the tough national hero president she served under passed away while in office? That’s right: Commander in Chief. Well, life may be following fiction (again) — without the passing away part. . .
Greetings friends. I have much to report and comment on regarding the spectacular Democratic National Convention in Denver. I couldn’t do the who’s doing what to whom style blogging in Denver; I may do that in Minneapolis/St. Paul — but was way overbooked in the mile high city.
Free video streaming by Ustream Watch with us live today from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon mountain time, which is 11:00 am – 2:00 pm EST. And I’m pleased to report that today is my 46th birthday.
