Bring Back Crystal Pepsi
The Democratic National Convention’s first night is over and the messages out of the info-mercial are thus: women should fear John McCain because he wants to force them to have babies and everyone should be able to go to the doctor whenever they want for “free”.
The messages were drilled by every speaker who stood in front of a camera – be it Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who reminded us that. “Speaker” is her title, not a descriptive quality, or former Presidential candidate John Kerry, who looked like he was at the end of a three day bender.
But while being long on fear for women and big on “if it sounds good, say it”, it offered little beyond the normal plate of liberal gruel.
Watching MSNBC after the end of the speeches, I thought that the real message of the convention was best captured by a guy waving a sign in the background that read “Bring Back Crystal Pepsi”. The product had a good name and super branding, but flopped when implemented on a broad scale. And here stand the Democrats, pining to breathe new life into failed ideas.
I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
