Non-partisan irritation.

[pen_grunt]

I hate conventions.

I hate them, because I don't care HOW excited or angry you are, people, I don't approve of shouting while one is speaking.

This is why I don't like the big bible-thumping, shouting evangalists either.

Maybe it's a Scandinavian-Minnesotan thing. I can't listen to the speeches--I have to read the transcripts.

There's no cause for shouting.

I don't even like the uproar of the applause.

Oh, and I'm slightly perturbed because the RNC is royally f*cking up a lot of things in my fair city.

I know you're trying to make a point, but don't have a Republican convention in a primarily Democratic state. It's stupid. It's asking for trouble.

And then there's more shouting.

I hate shouting.

I'm with you.

I found myself wishing that when each party posts the speeches, they could post versions with all the breaks for applause/cheers/shouting/whatever edited out. That would rock.

I think they had versions like that of the Obama speech. It was a little strange because: 1. He was shouting in a room without noise. 2. He looked awfully funny in the breaks for applause just kinda standing there.
