The kiddies are in bed and they are already asleep. Well, they're quiet anyway, so close enough. I am now watching the RNC on CNN.
A few nonpartisan observations...
-Rachel Lampa is just too cute and she has pretty teeth-the kind you see in ads for cosmetic dentists. Too bad she was so boring. And then she sang again. It was like Ambien-only noisy.
-I really love those little factoids that CNN is putting at the bottom of the screen. It reminds me of Pop-Up Video (without that funny little sound though).
-I also heart James Carville's voice. It is so soothing. Something about the way he says his "A"'s and "O"'s is just so very pleasant. Is he from Georgia? His voice reminds me of Jimmy Carter. This got me thinking about my favorite speaking voices. I once had to make a list like this for a Communications class. I didn't really learn much from that class because Mr. Lipstick sat across from me and I spent most of the time staring at him.
Anyway, back to the voices. Here are the people whose voices I love.
-Sly Stallone--ok, he's a given. Mr. Lipstick says that he has a terrible voice for an actor because it is so deep that you can't really understand what he is saying. I get that, but Rocky and Rambo don't use a lot of compound sentences so I think it is inconsequential.
-Patrick Stewart--he could make the goofiest Trek-talk sound scientifically legitimate and even sexy. He makes Shakespeare interesting too.
-Mr. Lipstick--another given. His voice is deep and is a mix of New Jersey and The South. Hmmm...sexy.
-Bill Clinton and George W. Bush--for the same reason...both Southern men who have that little crackle at the end of their words.
-Men with northern accents. My faves are Illinois (Gillette Man and Gary Sinise), Maine, and NYC.
There are no women on this list. I don't know why. Really. For what it's worth, I H-A-T-E hate to hear my own voice on recording.

I've been listening while I decorate for fall. I missed Rachael. Just finished listening to Fred Thompson. Really enjoyed his story/summary of McCain!
I cracked up at the pop up videos reference.
As far as voices, I'm a sucker for women with English/Ozzie accents, followed by Southern.
California, NY, Boston, and Hindi irritate me, though.
As trekkie, I have so much respect for someone actually coming out with the Patrick Stewart sexy-voice appreciation. Ha! (applauding)
James Carville is from Louisiana girlie (I went to college with his nephew.)
Love the post, but now?
I can't get Til Tuesday out of my mind. Thanks! ;)
I thought I was the only one that like George W.'s voice. Since I am from Texas he sounds like my dad and his friends.
Carville's...love it as well.
Great post, gives me more random stuff to ponder....
Oh my goodness...what a list!
Do you watch CSPAN? That is how the Princess and Princess Consort have been viewing much of this week and last week's proceedings. We cannot handle most of the regular and/or cable commentators anymore.
BTW, the live video stream from Heaven is an outstanding idea. We are all over that.
Grins & giggles Miss Lipstick, and hopes the rest of the week is kind to you - your fabulous writing has certainly made ours!

Haha... pop up videos... I LOVE that! You're really paying attention. I will, from here on out, refer to you as to what's going on in the political world. Although, I did catch my new girl, Sarah. (That's her name, right?)
I'm with Courtney.
Candy<-- was born and raised in
Dallas, TX....and extremely loyal to her state.
So even if G.W. sounded like an idiot- I would still love it ;-)
I go ga ga over an English accent. Seriously I just kind of melt.
Wish I would have watched more the convention, but had a hellofa stressed headache week!
Counting on my Lipstick to feel me in!! Happy weekend!
Now I have the theme to Pop Up Videos stuck in my head!
me too, hate how my voice sounds recorded!
