Okay, so I vote that you (or a Crack Team of Librarians) get to be in charge of the Bullshit-O-Meter and the electroshock collars.

....and then you can tsk at them.

FIRST of all. Beezee, "LOVES THE BILL,
  hates the bill
" skit had me rolling in the isles.

I say we form a group of rouge activists to [citation needed] signs to all debates, local and national. Our goal would be to get on national television as often as possible.

gawds, i love xkcd...

and i'm for any plan that allows 'Pata to TSK people, and smite them with her superior librarian super powers. i humbly suggest that i should *not* be left in charge of the electroshocks...

They're not. Big Grin


how'd i miss this? and when did this happen? since the last debate, i guess? most of the news orgs are handing Obama the win in this debate, so hopefully there will be another spike in the numbers, and no Diebold-related foolishness.

Just listening to it now.
You guys must be so frustrated. I mean, this is not debate: it's a demented tango. McCain sounds nervous and wavering. Obama's restating his campaign basically. I'd have thought with the format, it would be a little more innovative. But no. Same old same old.
I mean there's been months of technically good debate, and technically good speeching. But isn't it time for some specifics here?


~You are a *Taverner*.
Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps 
when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, 
they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, 
and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be 
mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication,
you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~

Changios are Kosher, apparently.


Um. Frustration doesn't even come close to how I feel. I feel like the "other side" has been campaigning since 2004. I've seen people I've known for years who never wanted to get into politics or VOTE even, having majorly heated debates.

Mccain looked like a dodering old man last night! Which brings to question, if he were to die in office so we really want his running mate as president?!

that's the biggest thing I can't understand in all this - how on earth can anyone in their right mind (which I assume some right-wing people must be) think that Palin should even be approaching that kind of position?

If he keels over and she becomes president, my main problem will be that there isn't another planet for me to move to.

If McCain dies, she becomes president and is then either impeached or assassinated, I THINK the speaker of the house becomes president.

I AM frustrated! Mad I can't wait for this to be over. They have been campaigning since 2006! Same old same old is right. Stale! I just want it to be over and for whoever wins to just shut up and get to work.

Things I learned last night:

McCain is, appearently, my friend.

McCain wants to freeze all spending except military (because bombing Iran is more important than healthcare, education, social security or rebuilding roads and bridges.) Country First!

McCain tried to tie "That one (Obama)" to Bush since he voted for 1 Dubya bill?!?

Obama, a Democrat, was more agressive about killing Bin Laden, than the war mongering Repubs. Holy shit.

Brokaw just about cried.


I'm Matt Cable and I approve this message.

Which party is Brokaw running for? Was she the one with the fishnets and the bouncy bristols? Will she need an agricultural advisor?

I thought the couple of times that McCain attempted to crack a joke he came off awkward, mean-spirited, and, well, crazy.

It's ok if he's only joking with his military buddy. right? Right?

Roll Eyes

Did McCain even shake Obama's hand last night. I saw Obama come over, offer his hand, Cindy stepped in and he shook her hand. McCain looked away. I read reports that Cindy didn't shake any hands of "Joe Sixpack". Those common people are dirty.

McCain looked desparate and bitter. He couldn't say Obama's name and called him "that one." His ship is sinking.
