Well, there are tea-baggers and the like who think Obama just "reads everything off the teleprompter" and that Gingrich would have smoked Obama in a debate. So I dunno.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

NOM's Brian Brown To Dine And Debate With Dan Savage | ThinkProgress
Brown challenged Savage to a debate. Savage accepted; it was his idea to invite Brown over for dinner with Savage and his husband and kid. (They're married, right?)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Is there anyone at all who seriously doubts this? I mean, even the birthers have to know Romney is a liability in a debate.
No one at all, which is why, when they actually do debate it will be reframed as a Romney win, just as they did during the Bush/Gore debates: "Well Obama was good, but he did misspeak at one point, and he said "um" a lot. Considering that Romney didn't literally shoot himself in the foot during the debate, I'd say he comes out as the winner!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think Gingrich would have done very well in a debate - he's level-headed and can think on his feet. Romney gets flustered and contradicts himself if you ask him what the weather's like.

Now I'm imagining all the other possible combinations we could have had - can you even imagine what a nightmare it would be to sit through a Romney/Kerry debate? The opening statements alone would go on for days...

I'm freeeeeeeee! They gave us a 5 minute warning - last call for a cigarette or bathroom run before taking us into the courtroom. About 10 minutes later we were told that the trial had been postponed and we were free to go. Woot!!!
Now I'm trying to get caught up on work. Not so woot.
I'm looking forward to the debates. Then again, I have a hard time turning away from a trainwreak.

Oh, snake-handlers. Did I ever tell my brother's story about the snake-handlers he treated in Georgia? It's pretty OTT. Ends sadly for the snakes, though.
In other news, the Big Boss just stopped by, and let me know that not only is my position not posted yet, they don't know when it will, because the HR person who's supposed to do it is MIA and the whole place is a big ball of confusion.
I will not cry in the office, I will not cry in the office. Or hide under my desk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, Consuela. Maybe go for a walk?
ION, I may stab somebody if this company does not announce the thing they promised to announce on MONDAY. (I realize they may not have remembered Monday was the holiday, but it is now WEDNESDAY. Grrr.)

Because books.
Oh, Consuela. I can't believe the shit they put you through.

I am pretty sure there is about to be an admin position at my company if any bussistas want to take me up on that "move to Texas" thing. I promise to find you a house for less than $200K near me. I also promise you hours of entertainment.
