Last night, I was watching a video during the debates. I stopped it at some point... 9:30-ish, I guess, because my brother had come in to ask my dad to fix his little electronic MegaMan toy. The candidates were talking about Iraq. Restart the tape. After we finish, we stop the tape, and the debate is wrapping up. Still talking about Iraq.
And they were arguing about the same stinkin' things they've been arguing about for the whole campaign! I can't imagine how anyone who pays attention to politics would find this the least bit interesting.
And so, in the absence of anything new that the candidates would say, the press focuses on style. Bush's facial expressions, Kerry's Orange-Glo spray-on tan, whatever. Grrrrr.
Someone asked my Statistics teacher, Dr. Guthrie, what he thought of the debate. He said he played with his grandchildren, and had chosen that better part.
Anyways, my RSS reader's skip feature is going to get a lot of exercise today.

Just so you know the debate last night was on foreign policy. That is why so much time was on Iraq.
