Refresh this page; I&#8217;ll keep all my comments on one link.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>McCain has made a campaign promise of more nuclear power. I&#8217;ve now heard it twice. And he&#8217;s worried about a projector in a planetarium when the government just threw nearly a trillion dollars into the black hole of Wall Street. We&#8217;re going build <em>a whole bunch of nuclear power planets<\/em>. Oh really? That&#8217;s the answer?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>If I hear him say &#8220;my friends&#8221; one more time, I&#8217;m gonna turn to channel 3 and put in my DVDs of Mr Roger&#8217;s Neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Now I get it.

Let&#8217;s come together.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Okay he said &#8220;my friends&#8221; six more times. That&#8217;s it &#8212; I&#8217;m watching the Neighborhood of Makebelieve.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear power is safe and it&#8217;s clean! Ya! Tell that to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chernobyl_disaster\" target=\"_blank\">Ukraine and Belarus<\/a>. Tell it to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Three_Mile_Island_accident\">Harrisburg<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enrico_Fermi_Nuclear_Generating_Station#Fermi_1\" target=\"_blank\">Detroit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention that after watching McCain speak a few times, I rented <em>Night of the Living Dead <\/em>from Netflix?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve gone to the four corners of the Earth and shed blood &#8212; therefore we are peace makers. I see, I see.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>C&#8217;mon everyone, stay awake! This is important. (We don&#8217;t have time for on the job training, my friends.)<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Oh, skipping back&#8230;Mr McCain keeps talking about pork barrel spending&#8230;to the tune of $18 billion a year. That is money that comes back to communities. We are spending that much in less than two months of the Iraq war. JUST that one war, ongoing apparently in perpetuity&#8230;based on a lie&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>He said &#8220;my friends&#8221; again. I hope he keeps saying it, it is so obviously so fake.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Wow! I didn&#8217;t know McCain had served in the military. His little-known opponent, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonion.com\/content\/video\/old_grizzled_third_party\" target=\"_blank\">Joad Cressbeckler, served in the Spanish-American War.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Why to they pronounce it Tolly Bon?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have nothing to fear except fear itself&#8221; was on the cover of the New York Post today. And John McCain quoted Teddy Roosevelt about &#8220;speaking softly and carrying a big stick.&#8221; I am having flashbacks to 4th grade.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Wow! I didn&#8217;t now that McCain served in the military.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still awake. Are you? I&#8217;ve written THIS IS IMPORTANT in Sharpie on my monitor.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>We will succeed and bring our troops home in honor and dignity and not in defeat &#8212; just like he came home from Vietnam. I think that his victory trip re Iraq involves making up for the horrendous US defeat in Vietnam, after 25 years. These peeps can make really serious mistakes that can go on for decades.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Still awake&#8230;I need to watch the part where Wolf Blitzer explains what I just saw. Let&#8217;s see, the headline will be, &#8220;Candidates differ on Iraq, healthcare; no knockout punches.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>When is the debate between Sarah Palin and John McCain?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Wow, McCain was in the military? How haven&#8217;t I heard this?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad McCain would bomb Iran if Iran bombs Israel. My father just bought a condo outside Jerusalem that has a bomb-proof room &#8212; I&#8217;m eager to see whether it works.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Obama said he would talk to our enemies? That&#8217;s it, I&#8217;m voting for Joad Cressbeckler.<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Our last question is from Sedona, Arizona. It has a Zen-like quality. How are you not going to think of chocolate cake?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>McCain was in the military? What?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>And one last bonus question for both candidates: what is your email address?<\/p>\n<p>==<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;ll tell you what you just saw: a person debating a ghoul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ookie I&#8217;m going to try to stay awake for the whole debate.
