  1. R. Totale   17 years ago

    still too long

  2. dbcooper   17 years ago

    Did anyone else watch Mad Men on Sunday and think Betty's (senile and angry) Father was McCain?

  3. Derrick   17 years ago

    I don't get it.

  4. svf   17 years ago

    no "That One?"

  5. Warty   17 years ago

    One of these men is going to be the most powerful man on earth.

  6. PFJ   17 years ago

    Warty- Its best not to think about it.

  7. JB   17 years ago

    One promised me a free house and the other one promised me immortality.

    I do want video of Obama confronting God and demanding he give me healthcare.

    I dislike McCain because he is a democrat. I dislike Obama because he is a communist.

  8. Pro Libertate   17 years ago

    McCain? Obama? Bah. I opt for a third choice. Palin. No, not Sarah Palin. Michael Palin.*

    * The link goes to the Michael Palin video on Urkobold, but credit goes to the compiler of the video at http://www.MichaelPalinforPresident.com

  9. prolefeed   17 years ago

    I think Michael Palin summed up my feelings about McCain and Obama:

    Some Fine Distinguished Gentlemen

  10. Hugh Akston   17 years ago

    I didn't see the debate. Why did they hold it at a white power club, and how did they get Obama out of there alive?

  11. MikeB   17 years ago

    Best moment during the debate

    DOOOOM

  13. sage   17 years ago

    MikeB, that's just like getting rickrolled. We don't take kindly to that here.

    I like the mashup by the reason folks though. Keep working on it, and you'll give the daily show a run for their money. You know, throw some clips of Wilform Brimly oatmeal commercials in there. Pure gold.

  14. MikeB   17 years ago

    Sage, I didn't make it. It just seemed like a good proxy for my attitute towards the debate and the quality of that McBama character.

  15. sage   17 years ago

    Well played, sir. Just kidding.

    Oh, and make that "Wilford." I don't know/care how to spell his last name.

  16. MikeB   17 years ago

    I never bothered to watch the debate last night. My John Adams DVD had just arrived and I watched a far better debate between Adams and Dickinson.

    These shows always remind me of the startling difference between statesmen and the current crop of political hacks (Community activist, Hockey Mom, Angry old guy, Joe six-pack). Sad very sad.

    In another matter, Sage, No Prob

  17. Mr. Nice Guy   17 years ago

    I missed the debate last night (too drunk). Does anyone know if the debates can be downloaded for my ipod (for free I mean, who would pay for that shit?).

  18. Matthew   17 years ago

    MNG,

    In it's entirety:

  19. Just Plain Brian   17 years ago

    Mr. Nice Guy, there might be an easier way, but if you go to keepvid.com and put in the link Matthew supplied it will let you download the video as flv or mp4

  20. Mike Laursen   17 years ago

    That was quite hard on my digestion.

  21. Ronnie   17 years ago

    Government is the problem.

  22. rrricky   17 years ago

  23. dave   17 years ago

    one of the positive outcomes of Obama's becoming president will be the rebirth of deliberation. We have seen the ends of plutocratic-cleptocracy and it's 'reasoning'.

    now bark some reason my way, deep thinkers.

  24. deni   17 years ago

    Very good summary. The bad news is that one of them really will be one of the most powerful men on the world. Good luck!
