Well, Mr. “I’m too sexy for your t-shirt designs,” I guess the one I submitted (which read “Yes. I am Abhi from SepiaMutiny.”) would have been appropriate after all. *__^

Loved reading your reports from the convention.

Make sure you check out the South Asian Association and the South Asian Men’s Collective when you reach Cambridge

Shoot me an email sometime if you have any questions about life here at Harvard (I’m a junior and a computer science major, so if you’re seeking good CS courses to supplement your AM, I’m your man). spaul@fas

so if you don’t know then you must object to dems claiming bush played politcs with the war and went to war for oil companise.

your faith in the good intentions of the bush admin – after such an extensive record of malfeasance in every department on an unimaginable scale – is very touching. i hope you retain your wonderful belief in pink unicorns and rainbows and all that is beautiful. oh, and i have a bridge in brooklyn you might be interested in…

Totally disagree. I think it was a) Ravi and Abhi kept bumping into brown people who read Sepia Mutiny and thus they didn’t need to explain who they are or b) BLOGGERS are now finally considered credentialed media, and it is accepted that bloggers get to have the same access that other media does. I think it’s incredible that folks from the Mutiny can head out to the DNC and not be asked, “So your a blogger? What do you really do?” – shows the advancement of online blogging and media as a form of real media and real influence on politics. Sure it takes more moving of the feet to get Sepia Mutiny there instead of Daily Kos, but we were there – and I must say Abhi getting 50 yard line seats at the media box as a blogger is something that we could have only dreamed about.

Oh c’mon !!! Its not the Dems who are having Gay sex scandals all year. To suggest that somehow Dems are in “moral decay” is beyond ridiculous. One advantage of Gay sex scandal is that you dont have to worry about a potential abortion )

BTW, I am of the opinion that Obama should have kept the speech a little bit of a low key affair. Have it in the stadium but not the fancy set. It played into the “celebrity” attack from McCain (which Obama defending in the speech. I think the O campaign needs to stop defending stuff and start attacking more)

But, Kudos to Abhi and Ravi on the great coverage. Congratulations for achieving your aim of getting access.

I think that Palin pick by McCain is an interesting one and as some one on Politico wrote a couple of months back that this election may turn out to be a whole lot closer than anyone thinks. (Actually the recent polling alreday shows how close it is) It might come down to 1 or 2 battleground states. …. Just what the political junkies love !!!!!

Good work, Abhi. This I have to hand it to you.

it’s to explore what lies beyond the corner, is what AMERICA is all about.

Contradicts

Our whole time here, while we’ve been blogging, nobody has really asked Ravi or I what we do

What you do is what America is all about. “So, what do you do”, the icebreaker for any conversation is the most AMERICAN of all phrases. Considering that this was not posed to you at the Democratic convention goes to show the moral decay in the party.

M. Nam

The one where he was talking about the war in Iraq as wrong because it distracted from the war in Afghanistan (which apparently now includes Pakistan); the one where he referred to Bin Laden as living in a cave; the one without an apology or expression of regret for the innumerable civilian casualties in Iraq and elsewhere (that I heard); the one where he repeatedly invoked U.S. security interests; the one that was preceded by an entire day devoted to “national security”; the one in which U.S. imperialism (of the friendly or the naked kind) went completely unacknowledged.

Yes, it’s probably all necessary to win an election. That still doesn’t mean I have to agree with the politics.

Also, I think he mentioned “biofuels” which, Iowa’s vote notwithstanding, has had a serious impact on probably hundreds of millions of people around the world by raising food prices.
