Open thread (Update - now even more open!)

There have been some cool discussions in the threads, which is always fun. Plus I'm too busy to blog much today.

This is also always a great place to talk American politics as well....I thought Palin's speech was extremely well written, and fairly well delivered (I didn't get the impression that these were her words at all, unlike Guiliani.) I had only seen the end of Guiliani's, which was excellent, and the end of Thompson's the day before, which was even better. But I didn't watch any of the DNC so I have no good points of comparison.

Nothing illuminating at the RNC but some great rhetoric. Looking forward to the acceptance speech tonight.
