Comrade Wiesław was quite a character. He strongly opposed coffee, smashed a TV against a wall once, after seeing a woman with cleavage, believed a shortage of meat can be solved with hanging a few speculators, and prefeered to build blocks of flats with common kitchen and common restroom. The very picture that annoyed Gomułka:  |

Democrats Disappointed After Miami
Despite high hopes for great show, the Democrats are largely disappointed after their convention in Miami, which already has been described by some as the most chaotic since infamous 1924 gathering in NYC.
A disorganized "everybody's in" vice presidential ballot pushed Senator McGovern's acceptance speech way into the night, when most viewers were simply sleeping.
Most agree, however, the Convention had two stars, the keynote speaker Florida Governor Reubin O'Donovan Askew, and Alabama Senator Jefferson Dent, who a well-received delivered nominating speech for McGovern.

Westman: Bloody Christ, Joe, you can talk s**t among us, cuz we're your friends, but I'd rather be cautious with claiming you were a distinguished student in front of the press. They're going to check.
Dent: Guess we're all wasted now.
Biden: I don't drink.
Dent: Joe, you may not drink at all, you're still the drunkest man in this room.
Biden: See? I don't need a buzz to have a good time.
Dent: Good Lord, Larry has a good reason not to drink, he's recovering, but you?
Biden: There's a history in my family.
Westman: I can't listen to this s**t! How can you claim drinking is bad for you if you never tried?!
Biden: Hey, I never drank but I still managed to be a distinguished scholar!
Dent: Dude, relax. Who cares about unimpressive grades? Grades are not most important in college life.
Westman: Damn right. College life is about buddies, buzz and... f**k, there's no "b" in weeds.
Biden: Screw you two. I'm having such a good time I don't even remember where you two go.
Westman: Berkeley.
Dent: Yale.
Biden: And you, Larry?
Dent: Larry, you haven't said a single word.
Westman: Yeah, what the hell, dude?
Waston: Um, sorry, guys. I've been just thinking.
Westman: About what?
Watson: I'm in love.
Dent: Oh God...
Westman: Hahaha.
Biden: You two are such an assholes. Love is...
Biden burst into tears.
Dent: Great.
Westman: I need more buzz.
Dent: Scott, who else drinks heavily and is not a total asshole?
Westman: Magnuson.
Dent: No, he's too old.
Westman: The f**k was your major at Yale anyway?
Dent: You're going to laugh, but Classics Greek and Latin.
Westman: What for?
Dent: I was going to the Law School anyway so I figured I take something easy to have lots of free time.
Westman: How the f**k was that easy? Latin I get but a mothaf**king Greek?
Dent: Was easy for me.
Westman: How many languages do you even know?
Dent: If I tell you, I'll kill the mystery.
Westman: Asshat.
Watson: Laura and I were talking about having at least three kids.
Biden cries even more with the number bringing painful memories.
Dent: And you want to run for the Senate?
Watson: What the hell is that having anything to do with my run?
Dent: You won't have time.
Westman: I have one daughter and that's enough. Jeff got two...
Dent: Idiot
Biden: Wait, I thought you have one.
Dent: Thanks a lot, Scott.

As a sponsor I'm willing to compromise in order to get the main thing done. I oppose consecutive reappointment, but that's negotiable. What I oppose unconditionally in unlimited reappointment. It's basically screwing the whole idea. As of term length, 2 years is fine, though with reapointment I have my doubts. 4 years of uninterrupted service is just too long in a bloody role playing game. Well, I said my piece  |
