STAGE IS SET FOR A BLOWOUT -- Just A Minute Radio Wednesday 120829

Great to have you with us today.

Seems like there’s more excitement down South than is easily managed. The GOP National Nominating Convention has actually been in session in Tampa (but cut short by a day) by hurricane “Isis” that’s decided to sit over New Orleans and dump 50 inches of water plus a very strong storm surge on that city that suffered so much during Katrina’s visit seven years ago.

Personally, we are still trying to get our son Kim out of a coma occasioned by a pedestrian/auto accident that happened on July 4^th – and complications have arisen due to restrictions on hospital availability and other treatment conflicts so it’s like juggling more ‘balls in the air’ than a non juggler can readily handle. So we’d greatly appreciate your continued prayers in that regard.

Mrs. Romney did an excellent job – for which she is not professionally trained as a speaker – last evening. I think I’m correct in saying Mr. Paul Ryan is in the on-deck circle for tonight and Mr. Romney himself on Thursday – which will conclude the GOP’s turn. I would also guess this means from now on the conventions will go with a three night convention rather than the more usual 4 night stand. Probably something the networks can handle more readily. (They used to go for at least a week – but expenses being what they are?)

I’ve only been personally involved in a San Francisco Convention in 1964 – all the rest since that landmark one have been from afar. I guess one was enough. (J)

But it’s something that ‘convention’ says must be done – someway – Maybe we’ll come up with something like automatic “Smartphone polling” that will eliminate conventions or whatever altogether. I think Russia, Libya or Egypt have done that already. Would you really prefer it? [Just kidding.] I think all this excitement has probably affected my judgment somehow. (L) Anyway it’ll be the Democrat’s turn in Charlotte next week – I know you must be looking forward to four days of that. (J). I better sign off before I dig the hole deeper.

Cordially, In Him ,

Jack
