...That first paragraph was a lie, though it depends on what you mean by "lie." Rather, you could call it an ironic riff on the shocking predictability of political conventions and the importance of Gary Smith. At age 65, with 24 Emmy awards and four decades' experience with TV specials and variety shows, Smith has served as executive producer for Democratic conventions since 1988, when he began renting out his considerable showbiz expertise to a tradition that was, even then, wearing thin.

Stella, Blanche and Stanley are crowded together into a tiny space where privacy...
...John Williams - longtime composer for George Lucas and noted Democrat Steven Spielberg - was represented by his ever-popular "Star Wars Theme," though it was unclear if it had been selected for its subtle call to arms for the impending battle against the evil empire of liberalism or because it was perceived to be a campaign tune promoting the SDI program...
