makin’ tea in your underwear

Mama T

I hadn’t watched any of the speeches from the Democratic Convention before tonight’s speech by Teresa Heinz-Kerry.  Stately, elegant, wise and an even tone — it’s too bad she’s not running for the presidency, we certainly could use an intelligent and charismatic leader.

I’m sure there will be similarities drawn between her and Hillary Clinton, but Hillary is a subject that’s too touchy for me to approach here.  I will, however, say that Mrs. Heinz-Kerry would mark a wonderful change from the glazed-over silence we’ve received from Mrs. Stepfor Bush.

And then, as any self-respecting 18-28 year old male would do, I tuned into The Daily Show to actually learn about current events.  And laugh at Rob Corddry in a cape, which was mind-numbingly brilliant.

There’s a link to an mp3 of her speech here. A transcript is here.

Also, I like that the DNC’s blog is called Kicking Ass.

Eek. I just listened to it, and it sounds like an assy aud bootleg. A soundboard version will probably be here soon.

I can.  Because then it would be Daily Show: The Movie.

At the convention. Met Jon Stewart, Mo Rocca and Steven Colbert.  Wallow in your jealousy. 

I’ll fill you in later about seeing Andre from Outkast, being on CNN, Jesse Jackson at Dunkin Donuts and Al Franken telling me Happy Birthday.

Yea, I’m with you on the Mrs. Heinz-Kerry thing.  She’s really rather badass.  She refuses to be shut up and moved out of the picture.  Pretty cool.

Oh, and I think I speak for all of us when I say I’m eternally jealous of Kelly and her VIPness.  If you meet Bono I might just have to shoot you.

Kelly, go find my brother! (Dr. Brad Serwer, Office of Attending Physicians)  He works in the Capitol too!  You two could bond over your specialness.
