Great speech from Michelle! She came across as warm, intelligent, and funny. I have a feeling that as the public gets to know her,  she’ll be an incredible asset to the campaign.

Ted looks GREAT, considering what he’s been through.  Great speech.

It’s a great feeling to be a Democrat tonight!

From Yahoo!:

A February 1974 picture of Alexander Solzhenitsyn seen in Cologne after his expulsion from Russia. Solzhenitsyn, who shone a light on the inhuman world of the Soviet gulags, has died at his Moscow home aged 89.

My favorite Solzhenitsyn quote?

In our country, the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.

We don’t live in the Soviet Union, and though we have a terrible government, it’s certainly no where near as bad as Soviet rule. But still, his words resonate in the US in 2008.

From Yahoo!:

Two unidentified Afghan Women chat with each other a few minutes before they were executed by Taliban in Ghazni province, Afghanistan, on late Saturday, July 12, 2008. Taliban fighters told Associated Press Television News that the two were executed for allegedly running a prostitution ring catering to U.S. soldiers and other foreign contractors at a U.S. base in Ghazni city.

From the Independent:

A fighting bull jumps over two fallen revellers at the Mercaderes curve.

I’ve always had a strange desire to see the running of the bulls in Pamplona. Maybe I read too much Hemmingway at one point in my life?

Regardless, this is a great piece of photography.
