Conventional, And Un-

By Zamboni

As the Democrats kick off the first night of their 2024 convention, let's give a well-deserved shout-out to the excellent production qualities of our COVID-plagued confab back in 2020.

It was a huge challenge to make a remotely attended convention into terrific TV, but the DNC pulled it off. They did it so well, in fact, that we're feeling a little nostalgic for it as we watch speaker after speaker approach the lectern tonight to shout excitedly at delegates who are mostly (but not entirely) paying attention.

Don't get us wrong — this is going to be a great week. But if there's one thing that Democrats are good at — both four years ago, and just in the last four weeks — it's their ability to pivot to new realities. They don't get enough recognition for that. We cats salute them, and we PURR.
