Scrawny Kid from Austria

You know when you watch a Shakespeare movie or play, how it takes a few minutes to get used to the funny accents and really start paying attention to what the actors are saying? That's what it was like for me watching Arnold Schwarzenegger give his speech at the Republican National Convention tonight.It started slow, but by the time Arnold called Kerry and Edwards "economic girlie-men," he was really hitting his stride.

Like any good political argument, there was little that one could outright disagree with, but I happen to object to many of the premises that Arnold based his speech upon. Still, it was a great speech. I'm going to play the online video of Arnold's speech next to Barack Obama's DNC speech. Then I'll decide who I'm going to vote for in 2012.
