Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But I never thought I'd see the day CNN called a debate a "shitshow" on air.

Twice. And I stopped watching after Harris' reaction.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I skipped the debate itself, but did catch up with some of the comments afterwards. I did watch Colbert's commentary. oy

From the comments and clips I think the debate was pretty like being on a plane next to a toddler throwing a fit.

You misspelled "the country".

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Gud that's pretty much it and MW was offering him placating treats.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hell is drifting off in a meeting that probably won't involve you, though maaaybe it will. So tired. So sleepy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Next Presidential debate is scheduled in Florida--and will be a town hall.

I...ahm.

Meme going around proposing Samuel L. Jackson as moderator. "I said two minutes, Motherf*cker." That, and a kill switch for the candidate not officially speaking, would go far, I think, in "moderating."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

If there was a kill switch, Trump would just bellow anyway, which would be just as (or maybe more) chaotic. He doesn't need a microphone, and he's demonstrated amply in the last 4 years that he won't follow any rules that he doesn't want to follow.

Thrive to spite them

I think anyone who goes over the 2 mins should get slimed. And they dont' get to get cleaned off, they can wipe their face off but then they just stand there, covered in the slime for the debate so it's just layers of the really icky old style You Can't Do That On Television.

I saw a cartoon of the moderator's desk for the next event: shock collar, duct tape, whip, bullhorn, taser. Sounds about right.
