We all know that American political conventions are pretty carefully scripted. To find the deeper meaning, here are some anagrams for both "Democratic National Convention" and "Republican National Convention". These are done with my Macintosh application Ars Magna, so they're "original" in the sense that I culled them from a much longer list of machine-produced drivel -- "O, contradict inconvenient Alamo" and the like. -- Mike Morton <Mr_Machine_Tool@Proponent.com> (The Republicans yield much better anagrams; I've listed the Top Ten for each, then a longer list for each of arguably lower quality.) Democratic National Convention ------------------------------ Top ten: America voted Clinton? No, I cannot! Item: Advance Clinton coronation Clinton nomination: Accord at eve Clinton: "Act on American devotion" Control, damn it, conceive a nation Conceal at contrived nomination American continent: cold ovation Viet Nam, Tornado, Cocaine, Clinton Election condition: Vacant manor Dominator can't contain violence Republican National Convention ------------------------------ Top ten: Puritanical ban on innocent love Continual privation can ennoble Can learn potato noun? Invincible! Cannot balance virulent opinion Unconventional noble patrician Clinton convention: plebian aura An inconvenient clan, a Politburo Innocence until naval probation Plain notion: binuclear covenant Pollution ban: inane contrivance Democratic National Convention ------------------------------ Honorable mention: Clinton contortion; evade maniac Clinton nomination; vacate credo Concentration on vital comedian Clinton: Condemnation to avarice Clinton vocation: Erotica and men Covet arcane Clinton admonition A violent, narcotic condemnation Republican National Convention ------------------------------ Second tier: Announce bill veto; nation in crap Announce vibrant, online capitol Bonn (noun): (1) capitol; (2) evil incarnate Uncap cannon; violent liberation A craven taunt: penicillin no boon Clinton evaporation; ennui blanc Ballet, union, nirvana, conception Burn no inane political covenant Violence burnt on; national panic Uncap ban: colonial intervention Almost as good: Obtain an epic: "Clinton lover a nun" Concentration on unlivable pain Conventional lunatic brain? Nope! Valiant concubine; online patron Continual probation can enliven Violent cannibal, piano nocturne Conviction plan: alienate unborn Blunt an inane conviction, parole Innocent love-rub; national panic Avert Clinton; unbalance opinion
