Marketa Irglova, who won an Oscar for Best Song but was cut off by music when she started speaking, got a chance to come back after the commercial break and make her beautiful speech about "hope". Stiles thinks it's a sign of some societal shift, akin to the Democrats retaking the House and Senate in 2006. Is something stirring?
My Favorite Picture This Cycle
I saw this sticker taped to the back of a battery or a mic receiver on the NBC camera that was shooting Lee Cowan Friday night. There we were, with 30,000 gathered on the streets of downtown to hear Barack Obama give his stump speech. And since I've heard it a few times, I found it more amusing that Obama's traveling press corps badge has a cartoon of the candidate getting cooked.
