My favorite bit was when Romney asked Obama if Obama had looked at his pension, starting in on a bit of how Obama's pensions also invested in Chinese companies etc. etc., and Obama said, "I haven't looked at my pension, it's not as big as yours."

That was lovely.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

For msbelle: From a transcript on the debate from NYT.

He mentioned good schools. I totally agree. We were able to drive our schools to be number one in the nation in my state, and I believe if we do a better job in education, we’ll -- we’ll give people the -- the hope and opportunity they deserve, and perhaps less violence from that.

But let me mention another thing, and that is parents. We need moms and dads helping raise kids. Wherever possible, the -- the benefit of having two parents in the home -- and that’s not always possible. A lot of great single moms, single dads. But gosh, to tell our kids that before they have babies, they ought to think about getting married to someone -- that’s a great idea because if there’s a two-parent family, the prospect of living in poverty goes down dramatically. The opportunities that the child will -- will be able to achieve increase dramatically.

So we can make changes in the way our culture works to help bring people away from violence and give them opportunity and bring them in the American system.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But to put that remark in context, the original question was "What will you do to keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals?"

Ah, well, that's clear.

but there was something about not having kids if they're not prepared for them or something like that.

IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY THAT WOMEN COULD TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES AND MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES SO THAT UNWANTED PREGNANCIES COULD BE AVOIDED.

Well, women are in that binder, waiting to be called to action, it's not like they have any power to do anything in there.
