The Democratic National Convention was this week, and with it came a plethora of material for me to post here.

First, this little song that brings together liberals and conservatives. (Turn up the volume on your computer, and yes, it's fairly work-safe).
Next, via Turquoise Waffle Irons in the Back Yard:
