Tom DeLay Sighting

I think I spotted Tom DeLay at the GOP convention . . . he was in one of the crowd shots during the Ronald Reagan tribute video.
Anyone know where the House Majority Leader has been? Perhaps he switched places with Cheney and went to the undisclosed location. Interesting how a party convention yields the stage to an actor, a figure skater, a gymnast, a football player, but not one of its most power leaders.

Resonance Physical Fitness Challenge

I don’t consume alcohol, so I thought I’d come up with a healthier version of the drinking game:

I will bicycle 25 miles for every mention of “Osama bin Laden” by either Vice President Cheney or President Bush in his acceptance speech at the GOP convention.

Better go pump up those tires.
Feel free to set your own personal challenge. And tune in as our leaders recite their efforts in bringing the head 9/11 perpetrator to justice.
UPDATE: I’ve searched Cheney’s speech and no Osama. Guess Cheney was too busy going after America’s real enemy–John Kerry. But, not to worry. I’m sure our wartime president will level with us tonight and offer a candid update on his pledge to located Osama “wanted dead or alive” bin Laden.
UPDATE 2: Alas, it’s 0 for 2 in the speeches. But I suppose I can do a nice long ride anyway.
Back in October 2001, who would have imagined that in his re-election convention speech President Bush would place a much greater emphasis on Iraqi elections than on Osama bin Laden?
