An embarrassing moment when my wife walked in . . .

          I had an awkward somewhat embarrassing moment last night when my wife opened the closed bedroom door and walked in on me while I was alone in the dark watching the Republican Convention. She blurted out "oh my God I can't believe it" and ran out of the room shaking her head.
          The fact is that watching the Republican convention is a lot like pornography -pure manufactured fantasy with not much connection to the real world.
          I couldn't take my eyes off the TV screen as the sea of screaming white people jumped to their feet cheering Condoleeza Rice as she attacked Obama as "leading from behind".  Condolezza Rice who sold America one of the biggest most costly, disastrous crocks of shit in US history by pitching ,what she knew to be, a bald faced lie about mushroom clouds on the horizon was now sanctimoniously lecturing Obama about how to be a world leader. The porn metaphor doesn't quite work I was embarassed the way I feel slowing down to stare at a horrible car crash. The problem is that this crash has a 50/50 chance of actually happening.
