I was languishing in the Atlanta Airport last Friday, waiting for the storms in Chicago to abate sufficiently to permit our plane to take off, when the following remark distinguished itself to my ears, amid the continuous droning of CNN on the waiting room television: "If Kerry decides not to make his acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention, it could rob what little excitement is left to political Conventions these days..." I couldn't help but laugh aloud at the idea that anybody's excitement would be diminished by John Kerry not making a speech.
