...frown, he listened. My family, I explained, had built a home here in the neighborhood of Kodialguttu just before I left Mangalore in 1991. This was the first time I had come back, and I wanted to see that house again. I had been searching Kodialguttu for half an hour, but I hadn't found it. In fact, I didn't recognize the neighborhood at all. Our house had been built on a paddy field, and you could see it from a couple of miles around.

Howard Dean, chairman of the DNC, had earlier given a red-meat speech that had the crowd roaring up for a standing ovation multiple times, despite the early hour (8:30 a.m.) and all those hangovers. He told the assembled activists that the DNC now has an "Internet department" where "we read you every day;" he thundered against Republican "sleazebags" and joked about how he would not be so welcome at a "quote 'mainstream press' event." Indeed, bashing the traditional press became such a reliable applause line that its invocation became like Catskills comedian...
