Love the guy.

1. Yep!

:bounce:


"The whole world said thanks that the more experienced Richard Nixon had not been elected in that close election." Great line!

2. Thanks for the heads up he just did a great poem on Bush's crimes

How old is Ted?

3. I think he's in his 80s now

I'll Google it...

Yep - turned 80 in May.

4. Wow.

And he still has it.

6. That was his own?

.. okay...

I shouldn't criticize other writers...

But I'm rather picky. Things that use couplets unless they are sonnets just ... get on my nerves somewhat.

I am not a great writer, but mine don't usually rhyme at all unless it is a sonnet. Usually because I find the rhyming a bit limiting.

Oh well.

5. He did a great job, but ... the poem?

Was that his own or was it written by a child for him to read?

7. I missed it because the Dem Convention live stream is messed up.

For some reason, the alternate feed was showing it in real-time but with no audio while the main feed was just really really off. :(

8. Bites, but I am really impressed that the site has done so well...

... considering the load that has to be on the servers.

I hope it doesn't crash out on Thursday. I noticed that when the hour hit last night where Michelle was going to speak that I had to restart the stream, I think it was because of the load.

9. I really like the HD quality so I'm really bummed that it doesn't seem to be working properly.

I like CSpan but the quality when full screened isn't so hot. :(

10. His new book

is outstanding. It was as fun to read as anything I've bought in recent years. If people like Ted, or want a fascinating lesson in history, buy "Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History."
