So I managed to connect to C-SPAN’s generous live feed of the convention just as Al Sharpton was finishing up. Kinda sorry I missed it (definitely sorry I missed Jesse Jackson and Dennis Kucinich). Wasn’t too impressed with Bob Graham’s, but he still had valid points. I’ve been catching up on reading some blogs that get censored blocked by my employer’s firewall software while keeping the feed going on in the background. My ears picked up the middle of the “clean coal” argument by Ed Rendell. Given that he’s the governor of Pennsylvania, it doesn’t surprise me to come from him. What surprises me is the usage of the word “clean” with the word “coal” and not being prefaced with a “not” or some other negation. Clean coal? Really? Is there something I missed as I’ve been anxiously reading more and more about biodiesel?
