Yes, yes, I know, we're supposed to be all hopped up on feel-good unity style emotion after Obama's speech last night, and I'm all about embracing my fellow man and such -- but let's be honest, now that the party's over and the campaign's officially in full swing, we can get back to the fun stuff.

But for my money, the best speech of the convention was John Kerry's.

No, I'm serious.

If you haven't seen it, you should watch -- and if you don't have 13 minutes to spare, at least fast forward to minute 4, when Kerry pats McCain on the back and then slips the knife through his ribs. Then onto 8 min 30, when Kerry eloquently lets loose his Swift Boat rage.
