observations from the debate

watching dumb and dumber right now in my dad's hotel room. things i've thought about and/or noticed:

*at one point cheney lifted his legal bad so you could see the back. i was really hoping it was gonna say 'john edwards is a douche', alas it did not.

*cheney: 'no gwen, i do not. at the time i said that i was drunk.' ok, so he didn't say drunk, but it've been funnier if he did.

*when they said cleveland's unemployment rate was 31%, my dad's response was 'close it!'.... as in the city.

*these guys can't stay on topic to save their lives. that means they're good politicians.

*i tried to access www.factcheck.org right after cheney mentioned it, but it was definitely down. guess half the other people watching had the same idea.

*they should just let the two of them duke it out. or have a knife fight. edwards is young and fiesty, but cheney is old and crotchety. i think it'd be a good match up.

*i wouldn't be surprised if cheney kicks puppies.

*it makes me laugh when either side of this debate talk about millionaires as though the term doesn't apply to them.

*my dad just measured the beds by walking like peewee herman. he's my hero.

vote if you know accurate information. do not just listen to your parents and ABSOLUTELY do not just listen to the politicians. politicians are just professional liars. kind of like actors but less attractive. well, except for steve buscemi.
