I cracked up when I read this post at Daily Kos:
A friend emailed me an observation of a friend about the fact that Obama is delivering this speech at the GOP convention center: "im in ur base killin ur d00dz"
For all my older readers, the above is a reference to LOLcats -- usually a picture (of a cat) with a short, humorous and slightly off-kilter caption written in kitty pidgin. It's all the rage, and the fact that it is sort of stupid is sort of the point.
For my younger readers, the above is a reference to Barack Obama raising the roof in Minnesota, which is part of the Republican Party's base. Obama may not win Appalachia in a landslide, but John McCain should take his hearing aid out so he doesn't have to hear so many Republicans apologize to him as they help make history.
From Fox News' commentary last night, this contrast between Obama and McCain:
Oratorical gap between this speech and John McCain's was vast. John McCain sounded old. This sounded fresh and new and exciting and visionary.
