Anybody wanna watch it? I have class until around 8:45 but if anyone wants to have me over that would be great or if anyone wants to hang out at my place that’s cool too. Don’t really want to watch it alone, you know, can’t sleep, clown might eat me etc…..

Big TV
We have a big TV. But running low on bourbon.
Door is still open here!
I’m inviting y’alls over to watch. I’ll make popcorn again, too.
I’ll throw our house into
I’ll throw our house into the ring, too.
Let’s rassle for the privilege of having a Debay-tay Par-Tay!!
(Our TV is bigger’n N/A’s, but smaller’n Herbwizeses… cain’t remember how big Arthur’s is…. heh)
The Biggest
We have the biggest TV. You’ll really get a good look at McCain’s face lumps.
NOT FOR PARTYNG!
DEABATES IS NO TIME FOR PARTYS!!!! If you have the deabates (also know as "THE SHUGARS") you need to see a doctor and stay AWAY from shugar no matter what it sounded like what i said in that paranthasees!!!!! Also, beers!!! better NOT! Mabey its just me but nothig says "A PARTY" like shugar and beers! which are not good for deabetes suffers! STOP WERE YOU ARE! Plan no farther!
Im sorry if I sound harsh, but i think you are my freinds (?) and I dont want you feet to fall OFF!
oh you guys
Maybe my dic — er, my TV isn’t as big as yours, but the soft, pillowy curves of my couch go on for miles!
The Missus
It all depends on what the missus says.
Golden Opportunity Lost
You know that you could have totally gone with a “depends on the missus” punch line – what a waste! This missus is fine with people coming over for debate viewing, but a few caveats…
· Unless the mister is planning on hauling out the Hoover, forget any expectations of “good housekeeping”· I plan on a lot of muttering and obscene hand gesturing – those that are easily offended may wish to view elsewhere.· I have a stupid committee meeting bright and early Wednesday AM, so post-debate lingering will need to be kept to a minimumSounds like Chez Inkster is
Sounds like Chez Inkster is where this is going. I will be there (not sure about wizzy, will find out later) between 8:30 and 8:45. I will bring the radio again in case there’s some porch sitting as part of the deal.
What about lateness?
I would be late, no matter where I go, because that’s how I roll. Anybody got a problem with THAT?
Actually, I will be late, most likely sweaty, possibly wearing workout clothes. Which is why I was figuring I should just go home.
I suppose I could go to the gym earlier....
… or better yet, use gardening as my workout tonight! Then I would only be muddy, my yard would look better, and I would be on time. Sorry for the external processing. I’m there.
OK, then!
This is cool, because Dadmin and I won’t have to go our separate ways and we both get to hang with a posse.
Cho will take the lint brush to the couch.
Muttering, obscene hand gestures, howling: all perfectly acceptable.
I have to work at the crack of noon tomorrow, so some post-match lingering is workable.
Dunno
I dunno. I just had a dental hygienist tear through my gums. And I haven’t been getting enough sleep. And it’s a school night.
questionable
My presence is also under question, particularly since I tend to just sleep through debates. Don’t want to take up valuable couch real estate! Ah, such an astute political observer!
That one
That one is becoming the talk of the day. That what? Porch monkey? Uppity Negro? Senate colleague? I thought McCain was gonna blow a gasket. The tough guy shit couldn’t get through his own anger and petulance at losing what he thinks is his entitlement.
Great piece in the NYT today by Friedman (who I normally think is a little on the mastering the obvious side) on Palin and the role of taxes in a civilized society and how idiotically ironic it is to say that it is patriotic to support war and defense but unpatriotic to support the taxes that pay for them. Of course Friedman is viewing this from an adult perspective….

Where's Oliver?
Why isn’t McCain’s response to Oliver’s question prominent in the news? I thought it was astounding and blatant, but it seems like it just didn’t strike many other people as an unforgettable fuckup. Here’s what I found on a blog:
‘The quote was "I’ll bet you, you may never even have heard of them before this crisis."
McCain continues in response to the same questioner to say "That’s why we’re going to have to go out into the housing market and we’re going to have to buy up these bad loans and we’re going to have to stabilize home values, and that way, Americans, like Alan, can realize the American dream and stay in their home."
McCain is betting that Oliver, who is black, doesn’t know about Fannie and Freddie and that he doesn’t own a home.’
The thread is here. There is a transcript here if you want to read more, including Caucasian Alan’s question that preceded Oliver’s question.
Actually their has been a
Actually their has been a lot of discussion on the lefty blogs about condescending and possibly racist response to the questioner regarding Fannie and Freddie.
What?!?
I remember when my grandpa started talking funny. They had to cut back on all the medication they were giving him.
to lift a beautiful line
to lift a beautiful line from the movie Friday and apply it to McCain’s face regarding yesterday’s debate: "he gonna cry in the car."
Down in flames. Obama doesn’t even need to unzip his pants and let the Keating 5 hang out.
car talk
This from a Nora Ephron post-debate story: "If I were married to[McCain], an unlikely scenario, we would probably have fought in the car on the way home tonight, because I told him a million times not to try to be funny, but he never listens to me." (Then he called her a bad word.)
Larry hearts Michelle
Anyone see Michelle Obama on Larry King? That’s how grownups behave. She even managed to throw in complimentary language towards Sarah Palin.
Daily Show
Saw her on The Daily Show.
I was thinking how people say they are just like, or know people just like Palin, and that’s why they like her. I know people like Michelle and Palin. I like the ones like Michelle, and can’t deal with the ones like Palin.
Of course, Michelle’s not running for anything. But I’d vote for her for anything over that dumbass rightwinger.
Who is Sarah Palin? She’s the "hostess" who asks, "how’s everythin’ tasin’ for ya tonight?"
can't stop thinking or talking about sarah palin
yeah, she maybe a ‘hostess’…but, she’s got everyone talkin bout her. i don’t agree with her policies, but she sure as hell captured just about everyone’s hearts and minds.
She’s the right wing
She’s the right wing social worker in Van Buren County. We have one here (actually a dear friend and colleague of mine) who not only thinks like her and thinks she’s great but actually looks enough like her to easily pull it off for Halloween.
Oliver Clark's response on Facebook
Oliver, the guy whose debate question was answered by Sen. McCain stating, “You probably never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac before this,” gives his reaction to that (possibly racist) answer and addresses other things people have asked him about the debate that night.
