1. Thank you for this.
I'll honor Ann tonight by iPodding this when I hit the sack.

Be at peace, Ann.

2. Her whole speech is just wonderful
It's not just the Bush and the Silver Spoon joke...I especially like her talking about saying goodbye to the Reagan administration...if it were only true years later....

3. Heard it live.
The head of the Texas Delegation said:

"Mr. Chairman, the Great State of Texas, home to (don't remember the figure he used) Texans and one TOURIST from Kennebunkport cast all of their votes for MICHAEL DUKAKIS!"

I just about drove off the road laughing.
