ROCHESTER - I wish it started DENVER after watching Dennis Kucinich's speech at the Democratic National Convention. If you read my blog you know about my devotion (man crush, maybe?) to the gentleman from Cleveland, but unless you are heartless and or wealthy, his speech yesterday has to rile you up. Since you missed it, and I know you did because they did not air it on national TV, nor did the major news channels even include clips of his speech in their highlight reels, here is the link from youtube, a surprising frontrunner in saving our democracy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n9rOpC4gNk
Despite channeling Christopher Walken towards the end, Kucinich kept at his normal populist themes of fair trade, universal health care, no war, and education for all. He implores America to 'wake up' and see that we can not afford 4 more years of failed Republican policy. He contrasts the profiteering of oil and defense companies to the struggles of Middle America. He points out the 'Neo-con artists' manipulation of 9/11 to steal our freedoms and line their pockets with green. Kucinich showed his passion and heart, and why he is a truly great Democrat.

Random Thoughts
ROCHESTER - The political world is a fun one right now. So much scandal, so many decisions to be made and all levels are in the news.
1. Clearly Tom Golisano thinks poorly of Albany politicians. He has endorsed "Baby" Joe Mesi's candidacy for state senate. That is right. Mr. G believes that a guy who gets punched in the head for a living is qualified to help run our state. Actually, he no longer gets punched in the face for a living because the Nevada Boxing Commission won't let him because of BRAIN BLEEDING. So his head is too messed up to box, yet he can solve Albany?
2. Monroe County Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo is a menace to society. She allows (yes, the actions of those under your employ reflect on you) residents' social security numbers to be posted online on the County Clerk's website. Her opponent calls her out on it and she claims politics. Uhh, do your job.
3. Vice presidential sweepstakes are at a fever pitch. I hope Obama goes for Kucinich. I know he won't, so I don't really care. Joe Biden would be funny, though. McCain can't find anyone to balance his ticket because he is on every side of every issue.
4. My new favorite athlete is Bolt of Jamaica. He is fun to watch and he is not Michael Phelps. I like Phelps' Baltimoreness, but I am sick of the hype. He is a swimmer. Win a decathlon and then you can be the greatest Olympian.
5. Lastly, Buffalo Assemblyman Sam Hoyt has no game, but won't likely pay for it. He may be a penguin boxer wearin', toe nail paintin', intern nailin' scumbag, but in a primary, he only has to convince half of people who are predisposed to liking him he shouldn't lose his job over marriage infidelity. Oh well.
