Two vignettes from last night’s debate. The first, from Jana:
We watched the debate at McCabe’s and we’re happily seated with Biff, who at one point early in the debate sarcastically stated the following:
“Oh, Look! Her flag is bigger than his! Debate over. She wins!”
There was also an incredibly drunk guy who bitched during the first 30 minutes about the debate being on. He finally left.
Lauren and I winked at each other so many times, I have a tic in my right upper eyelid now.
We watched it a private residence, all the better to cope with a possible conniption fit. At one point, my wife turned to me and said, “I’m going to throw up.” I said, “Oh, stop being so dramatic,” and she replied, “No, literally. I am literally going to throw up.” She didn’t, but it was touch and go there for a sec, what with all the winking and shout-outs and stuff.
I won’t clog the blogosphere with more commentary, but I would like to say this:
How low have our expectations gotten when we laud a potential vice-president for not having fallen apart, flown into a rage or crumbled under the pressure of remembering Kim Jong-Il’s name? Is a modicum of composure all that we ask for? Blargh.

I was running in circles last night. Running up to the tv, feeling stress levels go up as I listened to Palin talk and then run away! run away! I think I could have thrown up if I had sat through the whole thing.
I keep reading that those who like Palin, feel like she ‘relates to them’ and ‘understands them’. I don’t want someone like me running the country! I want competent people running the country!!!
Shout out to my third grade peeps!!
I don’t usually drink on school nights. But about half-way through the debate, I stood up, stomped to the kitchen, grabbed the limeade from the fridge, the vodka from on top of the fridge, and was absolutely trashed by the end of it. It was the ONLY way I could have made it to the end.
That said, let’s talk about Biden saying that Dick Cheney was the worst VP ever. (or something like that) I liked that part. I thought it took some guts. He also made it quite clear that the executive branch has NO business being involved in the legislative branch.
TV’s have these wonderful things called on/off switches.
