I was drinking a lot of wine the other night and think I heard on the news that McCain was withdrawing from the debates to fix some crap? But he didn’t?
nobody is fixing anything, we’re all going to die.
@2, no washington apparently turned into a big chicken squabble, they can’t decide on anything. mccain decided to go ahead with the debate.
@3: I don’t like your attitude. Here, turn that frown upside down:

An add on the WaPo (or was it the WSJ) told me that Mc Cain won the debate. He’s just that amazing.
Back on topic: Anywhere can we go OUT to watch the debate in town? Like they do in DC on the big screen TVs?
CNN live feed doesn’t work if you’re outside the U.S.
if we’re lucky, maybe someday cnn will stop working inside the US too.
sorry, sorry, sorry. i’ll be serious now. politicians deserve our respect!
Stupid rain I cannot watch the debate on satelite tv
I’m in no way an apathetic voter, having researched voting records, past speeches, etc of the candidates, but I’d have an easier time trying to wipe a bobcat’s ass with sandpaper in a telephone booth than getting myself to watch yet another car on the tracks in the train wreck that has become politics in this country.
I cringe listening to either one.
/I swear I’m not anarchical but goddamn if it doesn’t kill me to watch people who essentially work for us bend us over and we gladly take it up the tail pipe. It’s our country, damn it. Not theirs.
//I’m also a fan of metaphors and cliches, btw.

What kind of strategy is it to argue about tactics?

Tahquamenon Falls State Park
for the fail
my strategy so far has been to drink plenty of anchor steam and periodically catch myself staring at the floor, instead of listening to skeletor and the chosen one.
it’s going gud.
Libations are helping me through the pain, as well, parlie.
oh yeah a question about russia!
“in soviet russia, a 20th century dictatorship with fledgling democracies make al qaeda have nuclear foreign relations to you!”
i made a patchwork soundbite quilt.
You know what would make it interesting for me? If they could verbally duke it out like Gore and Buckley back in the 60s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYymnxoQnf8
