Debate Recap
Author: BobR
Date: 10/31/2007 12:04:30
The Democratic debate last night was significant and trivial, inspiring and infuriating, focused and chaotic. In short - it was a microcosm of our political system.
Personally, I found the constant focus on Hillary distracting and aggravating. At least half the debate was Hillary being attacked or Hillary defending herself. While it's true that the media and the Republicans have already dubbed her the winner, the intense focus on her set up an atmosphere of "trash Hillary" (which was pointed out by Bill Richardson). She's certainly my least-favorite candidate, but I thought the moderators and some of the other candidates could've done better to spread the time and topics around.
In fact, one of the most aggravating things about the debate was how little time was afforded the non-front-runner candidates. Clinton, Obama, and Edwards got most of the screen time, with Dodd, Biden, Richardson and Kuncinich getting what little scraps got tossed their way. This was a shame because Dodd had some VERY good answers and came off as someone who could inspire confidence among the electorate. Richardson made some good points as well.
Kucinich was a bit disappointing. Every answer seemed to include the phrase "I'm the only candidate on this stage who...". Yeah Dennis, we get it. You don't need to remind us with every single frikkin' answer.
Of course - it didn't help when Dennis gets asked about UFOs. I mean - come on.. - isn't that a bit insulting to have to answer a question like that when you're running for president? It seemed an obvious attempt by the media (yes - MSNBC is still the media) to paint him as the "wacko left". What a shame....
I found Edwards to once again be inspiring, focusing on the American people rather than politics (most of the time anyway). He made some good points about how Americans are always willing to help and sacrifice (such as during the Katrina disaster), and reminding everyone that the government belongs to the people. He also came off as humble and real. Good stuff...
One of the better aspects of the debate was the "lightening rounds". Candidates had 30 seconds to answer a question. It's always interesting to see who can answer a simple question and who tries to shove a 60 second canned response into the time alotted. Conclusion? All of them did at least one well, but most of them blew their time badly on the others.
In the end, I think Hillary got eviscerated, Obama came off as stumbly, Dodd showed himself to be leadership material, Edwards reinforced himself as the "people's honest candidate", and the rest broke even.
These are my opinions; your results may vary.

Okay, listening to Bill Press (shesh! the things I do to make sure I hear Steph) but he's asking people if they've seen a UFO in honor of the question to Kunich last night.
I would like to go on record to say that I have seen a UFO so I'm in the same nutty category with him and Pres Carter.

I have not seen a UFO. However, Kucinich claims he saws something which he could not identify. So did Jimmy Carter.
How about questions that really matter for the candidates? Perhaps Kucinich should have asked Russert why he asked the question.

"You cannot be a president of the United States who's wanton in his expression of violence," Kucinich said. "There's a lot of people who need care. He might be one of them. If there isn't something wrong with him, then there's something wrong with us. This, to me, is a very serious question."

Since Arizona doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time, they have to adjust their hours to the fact that everyone else has changed. They don't fall back when everyone else does. Thus, Momma moves from 6 to 7 AM and Mike Malloy moves from 6 to 7 PM.

Say, do we have to pay back all that daylight we saved this summer?
So, we're moving off "New Eastern Standard Time" and back to "Eastern Winter Time", eh?
If we're on "daylight savings" for the majority of the year, isn't that "standard" now?

Condi may have blown the Blackwater investigation
Should she be charged with interfering with a federal investigation? :rage:
Potential prosecution of Blackwater guards allegedly involved in the shooting deaths of 17 Iraqi civilians last month may have been compromised because the guards received immunity for statements they made to State Department officials investigating the incident, federal law enforcement officials said yesterday.
FBI agents called in to take over the State Department's investigation two weeks after the Sept. 16 shootings cannot use any information gleaned during questioning of the guards by the department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which is charged with supervising security contractors.

100 times the us lead standard found in childrens halloween teeth
Raine on 10/31/2007 14:36:03
"Lead paint is a problem when it's ingested by a child, so to have lead on an item that is designed to go into the mouth -- that's what's particularly horrifying about these teeth," said Dr Jeffrey Weidenhamer of Ashland University in Ohio, the team leader. [....] "We analysed the paint on the surface of the teeth. The orange teeth were the worst in terms of having six to seven percent lead by weight in the paint," Weidenhamer said. [...] "That's about 100 times the US standard on lead in paint which is .06 percent," he told AFP. [...] Lead can cause damage to the brain and nervous system of children, behavior and learning problems, slowed growth, hearing problems and headaches.

Bush related to Vlad the Impaler? Of course, that is where he gets his diplomatic skills, his respect for human rights, and his desire to be surrounded by those who look like the undead, such as Cheney and Chertoff.
Say, is Bush's next poverty relief program to be what his ancestor did: lock poor people in a building and set it on fire to get rid of their poverty?

This day in History: October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted the 95 Theses on the door of the Whittenberg Palace Church marking the start of the protestant Reformation in Germany. Afterwards he went out and had a few pints of Oktoberfest beer. Martin remembers his deed three days later.

Quote by will in chicago:
Bush related to Vlad the Impaler? Of course, that is where he gets his diplomatic skills, his respect for human rights, and his desire to be surrounded by those who look like the undead, such as Cheney and Chertoff.
Say, is Bush's next poverty relief program to be what his ancestor did: lock poor people in a building and set it on fire to get rid of their poverty?

You do not want to become your own thermometer. She needs to give up the fish and have some nice comfort food (or go Italian).
Has anyone pitched to here coming to the East Coast on the Goldwater-Miller tour?

Alright, I'm going to have a little Sith lord running around this evening.
No, he isn't dressing up like the Vice President.
I'll be all in black with my cloak and my "Mace Windu" lightsaber...
But our pumpkin wins the 'scary' contest. It's already devolved into a rancid blob of orange goo...it looks pretty freaky right now.
Funny thing, not that long ago it used to be cold enough around here to leave it out on your stoop for days, if not weeks at a time with no ill effect. Wonder what that's about?
Aaaand not many of the leaves have changed yet either, and those that did went straight from green to brown.

I'm pretty sure it's Eczema. It's never been this bad before; inside my elbows, back of my knees, back, stomach,e tc. I think it was brought on by the tight, low quality fabric costume, that I've been charged with wearing in my most recent stage appearance.
But, over the past 2 nights, I haven't been able to sleep cuz of the itch! And, I know that scratching can give you an infection, so I wore the socks on my hands.
It's definitely not hives.
Benadryl Cream, applied directly did not work.

Why is everyone declaring her the winner? I just do not get it. Hillary is NOT who I want for president.
And if you look at these discussion forums, I don't think many progressives want her either. It seems like only the pundits and the Republicans want her to be the nominee.

I wondered how this would pan out.
I checked AP for a longer version of the story:
Jury awards father $2.9 million[ in funeral case.
It is nice to see that Westboro Church will bear some costs for trying to disrupt funerals time and time again.

I feel bad. I know the hammer scares her because she does the weird meow and then goes away, but with the guitar she does the meow but stays. I can't tell if she's freaked out or not.
I don't want to give her anxieties!

How about the Djembe? Cool instrument and way fun to play.

Oh man. . . The Blair Witch Project.
I am still bummed that I knew it was fake when I went. If I thought was real while watching, that would have been some scary shit!
You fell for that? I've pulled scarier pranks at scout camp...
But I agree with 7. That one is still riveting, even knowing the outcome now.
Funny thing about politically scary movies..."By Dawn's Early Light" scared the bejeezus out of me back in the early 90s...

I may have fallen for it, but the cat was out of the bag by the time I went to see it. 
I guess I am gullible.
Yeah, I think with Silkwood, it's creepy because it remains unsolved.
The Amelia Earhart story is creepy to me too. Now you hear her, *poof* Gone!

In my senior year in class I took a film on politics and history in film and it went into some interesting tangents. Our final was based on the original George Romero Living Dead trilogy. Of course, we compared everything from Charlie Chaplin to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (both the '56 and '78 versions).

I find the scariest movies are the ones that don't show much.
I still can't watch Halloween without the lights on!

I wonder if that's why I prefer the old Universal Horror films over the slasher films that became prevalent in the 80's.
Tonight on Fuse, it's train wreck movie night. They go from Half-Baked to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Hell yeah...I think the best "scary" movies were made pre-80's.
But, I think there is a big difference between scary and horror. And then there is a separate class of movies; disturbing. And, don't forget suspense.
But, if I want to jump and throw my popcorn in the air, I've got to go Old School!

A kid willing to wear a suit is the first sign of the mark of the beast.
Hell, I'm still like that when it comes to wearing suits.

Here it's in the upper 50's. Too warm for the heat to kick in. But then I'm in a building where the A/C is on year round for the equipment.
