August 2008 Issue
After
a year and a half of endless campaigning, the final two contenders
for the American presidency have been hampered by questions
on potential VP picks, world tours, and plans for the U.S.
economy and energy independence. They maybe tired and exhausted, but
no more
tired than the American people. So much so that the smog filled
Beijing Olympics maybe just what the doctor ordered for a case of election
fatigue.
Nonetheless, as the first Chinese Olympics come to a close,
the doors of the 2008 Democratic National Convention will be opening
up
in Denver, CO. The Democrats will celebrate their history-making
nominee by renting out Invesco Field at Mile High from the Denver
Broncos on
the night 45 years to the day after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
gave is “I have a dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial. If you’ve never really been interested in a political
convention before this year (we don’t blame you) this is the
year to learn more about both Republican and Democratic Conventions,
from the nomination process to the facts and figures. This month’s
feature is a one of two-part convention guide beginning with
the Democratic National Convention taking place in late August.
Amal is back with her assessment of a New York Congressman’s
legislation that could take the foreign runway modeling industry by
storm. Will it propel him to the mayor’s seat in the next election?
We shall see, but he may get Giselle ’s vote.
In an election year the button, hat, and bumper sticker industry
hits a boom.
The Chairman talks to long time political paraphernalia
collectors who keep up with minor treasures and trinkets of elections
past after the confetti stops falling and all of the balloons
have been popped. You can always count on the diehards to give a damn
even
when the rest of us go back to are boorish lives.
