Of course, I didn't DO anything about it.<br /><br />Annamaria, there's a certain horrid fascination. When I was down on the beach here in Thailand, there was no CNN in the hotel, but now that I'm back in Bangkok I'm waking up to Candy Crowley interviewing anyone with a pulse and a talking point and getting the same sub-third-grade-level answers from all of them: five meaningless adjectives and a talking point.<br /><br />You know, they say people get the government they deserve. I hate to think what that means about America.<br /><br />Michael, I AM proud to say that I won't watch either Faux or MSNfornation. (Hooo, I just made that up.) Goebbels could have run either of them. CNN is the only game in town, and even it's got big problems, even beyond the fac that I'm apparently the only one watching.<br /><br />Anonymous, wouldn't it be awful if the storm shut down power on voting day? (Of course, in Florida it would only shut down Democratic districts and in Chicago one Republican ones. I think we should just empty Washington and let the crows and the feral cats have all that neoclassical and Federal architecture.<br /><br />Lil, they'll be in high gear for 2016 by 9 AM on the morning after the election.<br /><br />Jeff, that's the best idea yet. And smear them both with fish, so if the boat capsizes and Sandy swims off, they'll have sharks to contend with.Timothy Hallinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551263887774445511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-33401890147557922932012-10-28T18:32:29.971-04:002012-10-28T18:32:29.971-04:00I think we should leave the decision up to Franken...I think we should leave the decision up to Frankenstorm. Put both candidates in a sailboat off the Chesapeake Bay at 12:01AM this Tuesday morning with a tiger named Sandy and whoever steps off next Tuesday is the winner. I guess that means even the tiger is eligible...though it may be the only one in the boat incapable of changing its stripes.

You're so right - nothing of importance was discussed, and irrelevant issues were debated to death. It is so sad to see how low the discourse has sunk. Can anyone suggest a good antidote for nausea?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
