No Debate Watch Party Tonight--Doing Something Far More Exhilarating ...Watching Paint Dry
Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 8:42AM The Blogmother
Sorry folks, tonight there will be no debate watching festivities or podcasts or balloon drops. No Maam. No Sir. We will be doing something far more exciting tonight. We will be painting a wall and then watching the paint dry. Followed by reading the index to Encyclopedia Britannica. Yes folks we will be doing something far more exciting that watching Bob Shieffer try to do what Brokaw and Lehrer couldn't.
Instead of watching another mind-numbingly boring debate, we'll be rewatching these videos in a local race for county tax assessor. I don't want any more emails whining about political advertising. McCain and Obama ain't got nothing on this guy.
Yes our property taxes are ridiculous. Here is more
Oh there is more.
The incumbent is an African American woman who has been in office 16 years and I am not all that sure she has a thing to do with setting the tax rate, only collecting the taxes and she's good at it.
Magic 8 Ball Debate
I say we replace John McCain and Barack Obama with the Magic 8 Ball. Have Shieffer ask a question and then have an intern run on stage shake the Magic 8 Ball to provide an answer
Shieffer: Senator McCain, will you pull out from Iraq within the first two years of your term?
Magic 8 Ball: No Way!
Sheiffer: Senator Obama, are you going to raise all of our taxes?
Magic 8 Ball: Outlook not so good.
Shieffer: Who would you likely select as your Secretary of State Senator McCain?
Magic 8 Ball: Absolutely!
Shieffer: That was not a yes or no question!
Magic 8 ball:My sources say no
Shieffer: Are you going to answer the question?
Magic 8 Ball: Maybe
Schieffer: Senator Obama, in light to the massive cost of the federal bailout, do you still intend to attempt to implement your health care plan?
Magic 8 Ball: My sources say no.
In other words, November 4th can't get here soon enough. There are no "undecided" voters out there, after 15,000 months of campaigning, and 100,000 spam emails from family, friends, and complete and total strangers about this election.
Did I mention that we nationalized out banks this week? Pretty humongous, but I haven't gotten a single spam email about that.

If all the candidates who are running for president were allowed to appear (McKinney, Nader, Barr...) at these so-called debates, the debates would be a helluva lot more exciting.
Imagine, during the VP debate, if the VPs Clemente and Gonzalez were allowed to appear. I'm almost certain that Palin would not have been able to get away with sloganeering instead of answering Ifill's questions. Also, Palin would have been exposed for the idiot and con-artist that she is.
I stopped by to see if you was going to cover the debate again and I see you chose to do something else like I did lol. I was watching the Finale of Project Runway instead. If that wasn't on, I'd probably be sleep during the debates. The last one did it for me, I had enough!
