h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I won't promise to cover much of the last day of the Republican convention. Politician fatigue has set in. But I note early into the evening that apparently, the convention is so boring that much of the excitement is being provided by people playing Pokemon Go. Go for it.

*******

Also, Queen, Adele, the Rolling Stones, R.E.M., Neil Young, Steven Tyler, Twisted Sister, and the family of the late Luciano Pavarotti have all requested that Republicans stop using their music. I am sad about this, as the unexpected and inappropriate sound of Queen was making my night the other night...it was more fun than having it show up at a jousting match.

*******

There are more white people dancing. This is very boring. I suppose that's what you do when you can't get an interesting lineup for your political rally. I'll bet tomorrow, the surviving Beatles ask for their songs not to be played at conventions...some cover band is singing 'Eight Days a Week'. May they all go to another planet where there are eight days in a week...and they don't get paid overtime.

Periodic check-ins with the Guardian -

- and the live feed convince me that there is nothing going on more interesting than old episodes of 'The X-Files', so back I go. Especially as they are waving cowboy hats. Please do not wave a cowboy hat unless you are riding an angry bovine...

I won't comment on the keynote speech. I started to, and then I got all philosophical, and then I invoked Godwin's Law, and I'd better quit. We're not that kind of website. Read the Guardian blog, they said it better than I would.
