NPR: I Do My Little Turn On The Catwalk

I Do My Little Turn On The Catwalk

The fourth night of the RNC comes with a minor set change: the rectangular black stage has been rearranged into a sort of runway. The early speakers are positioned at a podium on the wide part of the stage, but McCain will deliver his acceptance speech from the end of the long outcropping, creating a "theater in the round" experience for the audience.

In delegate fashion news, tonight the Texans have paired their jaunty straw cowboy hats with Texas-flag button-down shirts. Colorado is wearing red western-style shirts. And a sprinkling of Alaskans are decked out in the delegation's signature oil-platform getup: hardhats with "drill here" printed on them and flourescent vests emblazoned with the photo of a caribou grazing peacefully in an oil field.

I'm listening to McCain's speech right now. I'm amazed and how canned everyone's remarks are. His mother said something I'll bet, she was reading off acard. Then the spontaneous chants of USA at awkward pauses; I'll tell you folks, these people are the scary ones. Battering rams, tazers and all kinds of inappropriate action taken when their is fear of disagreement with them. Yikes! I pray that our spiritual level can be enough to move us to a new level of consciousness in the ways we respond to things. They are one big sound bite. God Bless America
