It scares me that I think Palin makes Dan Quayle look like a potential candidate for a MacArthur Award.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I've got old pictures now!
Me and my Dad age 4 or 5 probably
Me and my Mom, not sure about the age
Me, unsure of the age, showing off my huge teeth
Me, must be age four, with cool sunglasses
I like this one of my Dad because written on the slide was "I wasn't drunk"

not your mom's socks.
is anyone else bothered by the fact that there's been no discussion of the actual issues that might/should come up in tonight's debate... except by Katie Couric? I am increasingly troubled that the focus is all on form, not on substance.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That picture of you at 3 looks so much like both Leif and Emaryn it's amazing. They're just wee, adorable carbon copies of you!

An interesting blog post on how when you are doing something creative, what's important is how much you do, rather than obsessing over whether something is perfect. The clip of Ira Glass is, as ever, excellent. I wish I could get youtube at school because my students need to see this.

I don't see that as much with Emaryn, but I do see it with Leif. My wife thinks Emaryn really looks like my Mom.

Gwen Ifill is moderating, right? I have faith she'll ask good questions. The NYT has an editorial today with suggested questions.

I think the polls usually show that form is more influential than substance. It's hard to avoid talking about form when you have one candidate who is a gaffe machine and another who has had trouble forming coherent answers in interviews.

True. But I feel like a political zombie right now - wandering around shouting: "I want Brains!!! BRAIIIINNNNNNSSS!!"
