Partisan

So, I am making myself watch the Republican National Convention in order to, as I told a friend the other day, "know the opposition."  Sometimes, I think that Democrats and Republicans can get along in a substantive way, but other times, I think that it's impossible.  So many times during these speeches, I have come to realize that I really don't know if American politics can go above partisanship, as has been touted but never practiced in the last few years. 

And anyone else make the observation that the RNC is much less diverse than the DNC?  Of course, that's no big surprise, but you'd think that they could spare a few of the blonds for a few brunettes at least. 

Ok, I'll shut up now.
