Question of the day

* What one word - and I mean that - best describes your feelings about last night’s presidential debate?

…Adding… I’ve been watching and posting some YouTube videos in comments about “candy” today because I thought Ms. Crowley did such a good job last night during the debate.

This video from 10,000 Maniacs called “Candy Everybody Wants” probably sums it up best. It’s about the cynical manipulation of the populace by giving the people what they want. We’re all too familiar with that theme.

Plus, it’s got the word “candy” in it and Natalie Merchant is the coolest…

Well… who do you wanna blame?

OH man,

Since Rich took off my “Gettysburg” link I guess any suggestion of the movie “Deliverance” would be out of line.

Gosh darn it.
