The San Francisco Citizen

Comes now Randy Shaw of Beyond Chron (oops, try here or here instead - you know, if a bunch of people want to get something deleted from Wikipedia, they can do it. Man, what is it with some people?) who pronounces:

“Anyone who tells you there is disunity at this [Democratic National] convention is not simply delusional—they are flat out lying.”

Mmmm. That certainly matches the Party Line. Check out this “Joint Statement from Maggie Williams, Senior Advisor to Senator Clinton and David Axelrod, Senior Strategist to Senator Obama” regarding “THE FACT” of unity states this:

“Anyone saying anything else doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Period.”

However, this is all spin. People, there is disunity at this convention. All conventions really, but this one in particular. Some are unusually outraged.

At least these folks were unified, back in the day:

The people over at PUMA (Party Unity My Ass or People United Means Action) PAC would certainly beg to differ. (Might need to update this entry if PUMA talk keeps up.)

And speaking of which, was James Carville wearing Puma shoes on the convention floor? Perhaps this was just a wardrobe malfunction?

Oh well. San Franciscans might want to come down to the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero in the Financial District on Thursday night, August 28th, to check out some genuine unity when Obama speaks.

As of today, the countdown timer at the California Academy of Sciences website shows that there are just 32 days left until the Grand Opening in Golden Gate Park on September 27th.

As the cutaway view here shows, the Morrison Planetarium is on the left. Click to expand:

Check it. It’s all digital. They’re still working out all the bugs as they’re installing the new equipment. But, like the rest of the CAS, it’s going to be mega.

See you there on September 27th! (Listen to a few MP3s if you want, in the meantime.)
