lbh, Swaim, himself, broke the 321 record. I think he achieved a legendary 600+ in one article. I cannot remember the which, however. I distinctly remember Swaim getting double anal, though. That's not the kind of thing you forget.
I thought DOB's political outburst was the best bit. But. I do think he's letting the candidate's public faces disillusion him too much; obviously they're going to be tame and middle-of-the-road, they want the votes that they don't already have. Their policies are available online and aren't particularly vague. Most people just don't care. It doesn't mean that neither Obama nor McCain would make a good President. It's a symptom of the times.
Of course I didn't watch the debate (relax I can't vote in it anyway) but did Obama really advocate putting away the video games?Because he is putting campaign ads in video games.That's like mccain adeverting on the overhead projector down at the cockamammie planetarium.
Did you know that you're going to make the world a better place by voting this coming election? For real. The power is in YOUR hands. YOU get to choose who the president is and he'll save the country again, just like every other president does.
And remember, it's alright to vote for evil... as long as it's the lesser of two evils!
9:16 PM Dan O’Brien - Can we cut spending on education? We TRIED pouring money into that sinking ship, and it’s clearly not working. Stupid people are everywhere. Let’s just cut our losses.
"Nixon said we imported more than 17 percent of our foreign oil, now we're importing more than 60 percent. How much can we reduce that and how?"
Are you guys really that upset they couldn't give a numeric answer to this question? 100% of foreign oil is imported. ALL THE TIME. If it's foreign, it is imported by definition, and you can't change that. You can't reduce it. They both avoided a direct answer to the question because the question was stupid, and neither of them wanted to be the candidate who publicly pointed out that the average voter is stupid.

ReplyAlso, I want to know who he's going to vote for.
I wonder if we can break Swaim's Arrested Developement "column" comment record of 321?
ReplyOr has that aready been done?

Replyis it wrong to use this as a substitute for actually watching the debate?
