I like to let things settle a bit on my mind before making comment, but a two days later there’s not much to remember about this debate.
Obama didn’t say anything new, as far as I recall, and as far as I can tell from re-reading the transcript . His main points were that he would focus on health care, energy, and education. It’s all stuff he’s talked about before, and though he doesn’t talk much about details in his public appearances, they are on his website for all to read.
Like McCain, Obama thinks energy is one of the number one priorities, but unlike McCain, Obama’s emphasis is not on oil but on alternative energy sources. McCain just came across as a shill for the oil companies.
One thing I liked a lot was Obama’s talk about making college affordable again. For too many years, private lenders have been using shady tactics to get money from college students, it’s time to go back when education was partly subsidized by the gov...

The Republicans running for high office can only give the American people ... ummm ... gobbledygook. They are contaminating American society with it. But I have to say that the McCain/Palin camp has not yet floated a story about a...... more
Palin is in Philadelphia ordering cheesesteaks and still contradicting her running mate on cross-border tactical strikes in Pakistan . You’d think that after watching McCain flat out admonish such a notion during the debate on Friday that she’d think of something else to say by now.
I can’t wait for the VP debate. I will have to run to the Metreon and get a big huge bag of popcorn with extra fake butter. Can Palin make her 5th First Impression a good one this time around? W... more
According to Simon Tisdall in the Guardian ,
Aggressive advertising by Obama claiming, contentiously, that McCain would tax healthcare and privatise social security has had a big impact on older Floridians, the analyst said. Obama is currently an average three points ahead in the Sunshine state. A similar picture obtains in traditionally conservative Virginia, Ohio, and Nevada. The Democrat has even edged ahead in stereotypically redneck North Carolina.

I have to say the Chicken Fried Bacon at the State Fair of Texas this year is quite tasty. It costs about 10 coupons, which is $5, and you get about 7 pieces of bacon for that, with a side of ranch or honey mustard sauce. A side of gravy, though, would be just perfect. We just bought one and split it between 4 people.
One thing I enjoyed that was cornier than a corn dog was the “Live Action Bull Riding” over in the Dodge Truck Zone. It was weird, man, like that scene in Apocal... more
That was a tiring “debate” to watch , the one between Biden and Palin. Whenever she spoke I felt like I was being beat over the head with a cornpone stupid stick. She babbled incoherently, lied, contradicted herself many times per minute, and tried to gussy it all up in some kind of small town act trying to appeal to rednecks, but I’m pretty sure most rednecks are smart enough to see through all that.
There was one moment though, near the end, that none of the pundits seem ... more
Pete Sessions is my Representative in Congress, I don’t much like his politics, but he’s sending out this message about the bail out which I feel offers a good perspective on it. I’m still not completely convinced it will do any good, but I’m willing to listen to what others have to say about it. If they’re going to pass it, I hope the House is able to take out all the crap the Senate just put in there, the stuff about Puerto Rican rum, certain wooden arrows design... more
