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.
That is a nice summation of my feelings. And how much do I hate the fact that these words came out of my mouth: Dad, please do NOT vote for a ticket with THAT woman on it.
His reply: Hell, Erin, I haven't voted FOR someone in 30 years. I just vote AGAINST the person I think will do the absolute worst job.
It's far better for my stress level if I just read about the debate here, I think. I wimped out last night and watched Supernatural and then collapsified into bed.
I did NOT watch the debate (I've been in enough pain the last week and a half to put up with listening to Fauxksy Flick). However, I must say the Buffista debate watch and post is the bestest debate coverage evah!
Yeah, I don't want someone I can relate to as president. I would be a horrible president! Why would I want someone who seems like me?
Okay, this sourcing of Palin's closing remarks is both awesome and appalling.
Debate meara:
she still sounds like she is reading lines or scared to death or something
Or both. Though I do have to give her points for flat-out saying "Yeah, I have a bunch of stuff I'm supposed to read off these index cards so I won't actually be answering questions. PS, go fuck yourselves. Gosh-golly tee-hee!"
Damn. I was all excited that Biden called it "gay marriage" and now he's backpedaling.
Yeah. BOO Democratic Party. Grow some fucking balls already.
wait...How does McCain know how to win a war?
He crashed 5 planes, got captured, and so wasn't really in the loop when we lost?
I yelled at my TV, why is the INFANT being carried out at 10:30 PM!?!?
Eh, 4 month olds don't sleep anyway. [edit: or 6-month olds. At least, mine didn't.]
Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 9 p.m. EDT at Hofstra University's Hofstra Arena in Hempstead, New York, moderated by Bob Schieffer, CBS News chief Washington correspondent and host of Face the Nation. This debate will focus on domestic and economic policy.
DH's aunt is a prof at Hofstra, and is livid that the staff won't be allowed to attend the debate.
Palin was making every one of my senses hurt with rage last night. With the WINKING and the pageant grins and the fake-folksy interjections, and the "Oh I'm just a hockey mom, I don't understand big government!" FUCKING BULLSHIT. If you DON'T UNDERSTAND GOVERNMENT, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN IT, YOU STUPID FUCKING BINT.

I think that babies with Down Syndrome tend to sleep more than other babies. He's looked asleep most times I've seen someone holding him on TV.
Or they could be dosing him with Benadryl.

Or Yukon Jack.
I thought Palin did well. She seemed nervous and scripted, but she still did fine. I think people who like her weren't given any reason to change their minds. However, I think a potential president should have more gravitas than Wally Cleaver.
I think Biden did well too. He had to meet a higher bar than Palin, but I think he did the job.
I though perhaps Palin's one really bad moment was when she was asked about the office of the Vice President being in the legislative branch. I felt that went right over her head.
