But hey, there was a debate after all.

A full day of flying, and then I have to watch this debate sober? "Senator McCain, I have a bracelet too." Aughhh, I don't deserve this.

Edit: Aaaauuuuugh, David fucking Brooks is a fucking commentator! Forget alcohol, bring me some better drugs.

Oh, man, the jewelry contest was ridiculous. As I commented to Ginny ginnydoll: "To both candidates: did those military parents who asked you to wear the bracelets also ask you to exploit them for political gains?"

At the debate-watching party I attended, we had chosen the words "change" and "patriotism" as our drink-when-you-hear-'em words. (Halfway through, we changed the rules to include "my friends".) I think we would have had more fun had we chosen "earmark" and "Main Street". And "Petraeus".

(a) a drinking contest would have been marvelous, except for

(b) I was in a car heading to Vancouver, and besides the driver, the other passenger was on her way to chemo, which meant that

(c) I was especially pissed off at the pissing contest, and so

(d) I really do hope that I can move to Canada- but oh wait!

(e) Stephen Harper. There's a whole other election I can dislike.

Please tell me the candidates were also wearing the macaroni necklaces that their children made for them in those kindegarten years.
