We has a sad.

[The multi-repeated query today over the telephone was "Are you kidding me?"]

Chris called the Raleigh "Campaign for Change" office today after work to inquire as to the status of the community credential process for Senator Obama's acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver. The calling process was to occur between August 12 and August 17. Today was the final day and no call to the Gordons yet. Let's see what's up...

After the delegates receive all their tickets to the final night's acceptance speech, calls were made from Raleigh to some lucky recipients of tickets for the historic event. Number of calls made?

Five.

W-w-w-w-WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?

Five.

Are you kidding me?

Out of all the allotted tickets for "common folk", a mere five people in the whole state of North Carolina get the opportunity to witness history firsthand.

Five.

Is that just because NC is a red state, and they figured that interest among you folks would be scant?

Me is a pronoun. It is the objective case of I. said...

Don't feel too bad. Its just another big event where only the weathly and/or well connected people can go...a la The Super Bowl.

You can always put your ear to the wall like the "Juke Box Hero".

I **LOVE** a nice helping of irony in the early afternoon.

Too bad you won't be there for the coronation of "The Chosen One".

Despite my near complete disagreement with Senator Obama's campaign platform, an event like this would be very interesting to witness in person.
