I think MK will be happy to have his own food supply and a quiet room in which to sleep sleep sleep. Cats like to sleep.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Bathroom might be the kindest place for him tonight -- I know you want him to be with you, but he'll have the right food and a cushy place and some quiet.

If he just would! I swear, it's the opiates. His pupils are all HUGE.

Honey, it's not mean-- it gives him peace and quiet and access to food and water. If it makes you feel better, put something in there that smells of you-- that might help him out as well.

Did any of the networks have them on split screen the whole time?
MSNBC was pretty close to all split screen. I was a little concerned that Obama couldn't stop smiling in disbelief at the shit he was hearing - it looked a touch condescending, like he was stuck at a family gathering with a cranky uncle.
Which, sadly, wasn't far from the truth.
Also? The Obamas? Hot!! Like I think I now have a (bigger?) ginormous mancrush on Barack, and have always thought Michelle was a babe.

I think you both will sleep better with that arrangement, sara.

You are talking about John McCain, right?

CSpan also had a split screen going throughout.
I'm pretty glad I was doing my cross stitch while listening to the debate, so I was able to miss most of McCain's smirking and blinking. I did like the reactions of Obama to McCain's more outrageous comments.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
McCain = twitchy and blinky; I think he needed some Ativan.
Obama = COOL AS ICE ICE BABY.
I don't think the debate swayed anyone. Although I have big respect for Obama not losing his shit about the fact that McCain's supporters were yelling "Kill Him" at rallies. He's WAY zen. (Or possibly had a couple of extra nicotine patches on [this was a suggestion from The Boy].)
McCain went at the debate like he had nothing to lose. And really, he didn't. So props for that.
But I can't watch that twitchy blinkiness for 4 years. Jesus.

Not sure about that:
CBS poll of undecided voters:
Who won the debate?
McCain (R) 22
Obama (D) 53
Shares your values
Obama, Before the debate: 54
Obama, After the debate: 63
McCain, Before the debate: 53
McCain, After the debate: 56
The one in bold (assuming I didn't screw up formatting) is HUGE. The win/loss numbers are consistent with all the other debates, but the fact that this was a poll of undecideds, and a lot of those have been holding back on "I'm not comfortable with him" grounds, that's a big shift. When the trackers catch up with post-debate sampling, I predict that the trend will continue very much as it has been in the last few weeks -- it didn't decide anything in terms of final outcomes -- but with a lot fewer undecideds than there were a week earlier.
