Behind the scenese at the DNC

I love this guy's take on the DNC and all that was going on around Denver last week. What I would give to have this guy's sense of humor and writing abiltiy.

 It is long, but worth it. It is a post on the San Diego City Beat site and the guy's name is Nathan Dinsdale. Some of my favorite excerpts:

"No, what most of us strive for is simply to be “fair and balanced,” a term that used to have meaning before it woke up with smeared makeup and a torn dress in the back of a taxi after Fox News slipped a roofie in its drink."

"I am a registered Democrat. I voted for Barack Obama in the primary and donated all of $25 to his campaign (the first and only time I’ve ever donated to a political cause). I’m a semi-militant atheist married to a devout Catholic. I’m an elitist from a tiny rural town. I drive an enormous earth-raping SUV (that I tell people gets 17 to 20 miles per gallon but really gets closer to 13 to 15) with an “O8AMA” sticker on the bumper."

"I stepped away from my camera bag for 30 seconds to take a picture of Hillary Clinton exiting the Brown Palace Hotel and then turned around to find three Secret Service agents had surrounded my bag. If I’d waited a few moments longer, I’m fairly certain it would have already been exploded in a controlled demolition."

But really, read the whole thing. It is much better in context.
