I will be liveblogging ABOUT THE DNC LIVE FROM MY COUCH.

9:48:
Did I just hear "Born in the USA" from Springsteen? That's awesome! I love Springsteen! Way to reach us blue-colla' folk, Obama.

10:00: You mean there are two senators from Illinois? I just realized that.

10:03: I'm watching a live feed of a video being played? Jimminy Christmas.

10:09: This movie is boring as hell.

[Here, my dad and I have a brief argument on the respective ages of Obama and Michelle]

10:25: The booing isn't classy, folks.

10:28: Hey, I've been a student who sleeps three hours regularly. Obama's talking about me!

10:29: Shit yes! I love my grandma! Obama loves grandmothers! He gets me! He really gets me!

10:34: Oh my God: 10 years?! Seriously? Obama drank the Gore-kool-aid! He drank it and he liked it! Well, ho'kay, lets see how it goes.

10:35: HE READ MY 1SKY EMAILS! HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE 5 MILLION NEW GREEN JOBS!

10:36: Finally, a Democrat who isn't the teachers' union's bitch.

10:37: That's almost like a draft: "We will pay for your college if you serve the government for a brief period of time." Finally. Someone willing to force the youth of today give something back.

10:39: "Now, many of these plans will cost money." Hoo-boy.

10:41: Look! A blue-collar worker blinking away tears! An MSNBC-dream come true!

10:45: Could you pronounce the word "Taliban" again? It made me giggle the first time around.

10:46: Oh wow. FOX News just got beat down with that bit on Patriotism. "These are too serious times" for such debates, indeed.

10:47: Man, he is annoyed about that patriotism stuff.

10:48: Gang violence in Cleveland, you say? Hunters in rural Ohio, you say? Tell me more!

10:50: Barack has been reading PowerLine, it feels like.

10:51: It's okay, Barack. I never thought this election was about you, anyways.

10:52: [Jon Stewart's gay aristocrat voice] Change coming to Washington? How delightful!

10:54: I'm enjoying the Yes We Can-speech references. Also, what an incredible man, MLK, Jr. Heck, I am enjoying all of this.

10:56: Wow. Good speech. Thank you, everybody. Thank you so much for this.

...11:08: FOX News is kind of hilarious.
