2004 DNC speech. I saw a video within the last year. Maybe it was PBS? MSNBC? Anyway, right after that speech, everyone covering the convention remarked on what a great speech it was--which it was--and said something about his being President. It was an interesting montage.

It occurs to me that it took some Democrats until recently to figure out what the 1985 formation of the DLC actually meant to the Democratic Party and the nation.

The Bohemian Grove is, at this point, maybe the equivalent of summer camp. The Bilderburg Group and others like it, ALEC, etc., however, are a whole different ballgame.
