There's nothing I'm more excited about than next September's Republican Convention in New York. Chaos! The complete inability to hail a cab! Bailing silly friends with politic beliefs out of the Tombs! Plus, George Clooney and his camera everywhere!

As if K Street will still be on next September.

Anyway, all the players are lining up to give us the best spectacle on earth, surely to transform New York into a fantastic new city, half Vegas, half D.C. Hookers and tigers, tacky Congressmen and Howard Stern and Mary Matalin and the Pork Association lobbyists lunching at Michael's.

Hilarious/obnoxious muckraker Michael Moore is ready to do his part in the circus maximus. He's scheduled his next film, Fahrenheit 9/11, a hit piece on Bush regarding September 11th, to open just in time for the convention. Wherever we go next September, to the convention or to the multiplex, our short-attention span generation will finally get the politics we deserve: cut like an MTV video and just as ideologically meaningful.
