This is why the internet, and its little friends WordPress and Twitter, were discovered.

I will play a drinking game with the debate tonight.

When it comes on, I continually chug beers until it’s over, or I pass out.

I will, with barely disguised disinterest, be free twattering…

Having Tebow in your graphic makes this a bit more interesting. HE gets jumpy when people talk about t-t-t-t-twattering…

All questions are from “undecided” voters and selected by CNN.

That is the precise definition of LOWEST FUCKING COMMON DENOMINATOR OF MEDIA IDIOCY.

Snake belly futures looking positive.

They want us to be so ashamed of our country we’ll just give up and give it all to the f$cking elites and the stupids and leave.

Well, no surprise, that Green Party candidates Jill and Cheri have been arrsted at the debate site. They probably won’t be released until the big boys have left town.

Chris Hayes on his strange encounters with undecided voters in 2004.

you eat, you sleep, you poop

So, in a metaphysical kinda sorta way, we’re all bassets? Not such a bad life if you’re hanging with the Tboggs…

I don’t know, it just seemed like TBogg wasn’t really here with that post, like he wanted to be somewhere else, or felt put upon just having to post at all, like it was beneath him, in fact, I think he’s intentionally trying to lose the Moore award, and he just threw it away with one post!

To make it even more special Candy Crowley has notified us she’ll be pre-screening those questions… (What adult woman, on the teebee no less, chooses to go by “Candy?” Way back in the day in NYC we used to joke that you’d send your daughter off to private school with a perfectly good name and get her back with a name you’d give a cocker spaniel…)

LOL LOL. It’s worse at a southern college where everyone already has a silly nickname.

Wait: They don’t already have it? I stand corrected.

Friends of mine used to despair that they’d sent their precious wee darling girl off to kindergarten or first grade at one of the elite private schools in NYC named “Elizabeth” or “Catherine” and by Christmas break they’d been dealing with “Buffy” or “Muffy” or “Mouse” or something similar. I have no idea what would happen at Vassar or another of the Heavenly Seven if you yelled “Buffy, come here” in a crowded room. You’d probably be trampled to death.

Well, they don’t have it ALL quite yet. Hence, Money Boo Boo and ZEGS.

Jason Chaffetz has already inserted his thoughts (such as they are) into this evening’s vital national dialogue. (Or stated another way, we’re pretty much doomed.)

On the other hand, at least the sun will eventually die out, cave in on itself and suck a good chunk of the galaxy in with it. So there’s that.

Also, too, Kate Upton’s boobs.

Whew! That’s a relief.

Does anyone really know an honestly “undecided” voter? Down here I know vast rolling tracts of voters afflicted with invincible ignorance, but they all think they’ve “decided” who to vote for. It’s downright terrifying.

u ARE profoundly psilly T.

I’ve just gotten a phone call from my quondam tenant who is, believe it or not, ‘stranded in singapore’. Otay.

This is something I can do sumthing about?

NOES!

So, I am making soup. That I can do.

~~sigh~~

I dunt want to bring up the pibbels at teh Dept of ST**e who haz bin running me around for about two years. Personally? USACE IZ TEH BESTEST EVER!

Have never believed in undecided voters. It gets them lots of attention though.

I mean it’s not like it’s going to make any difference in the grand scheme of things or in the eyes of an uncaring and louch God who will probably spend His evening watching SVU reruns while peeling and eating a Tollhouse cookie dough log because who is going to tell Him that that is not a healthy and nutritious meal?

Can’t get enough rambly goodness in just 140 characters.

Think I’ll go play over 50s basketball instead.

I used to have this recurring mental image of the Parking Lot from Hell. It’s all full of little red compact cars, and every one of them has a vanity plate that rhymes with “_acey”: STACEY, TRACY, CASEY, STACE, STAYCE, STAYCEE, TRAYCEE…

Yes, attention seekers are the deciders in this political circle jerk. The nations attention is about to be acutely focused upon the navels of a few Long Island insecure sociopaths. Attention whores the world over will be taking notes and planning for 2016.

It was actually a phone call, gwpda? If you said it was an email or an FB post, I’d suspect that now classic scam…pls send money to help stranded friend/grandchild/former tenant get home after being robbed overseas….

I think, much as I enjoy reading the host’s tweets, even when his heart is not in it, I’m going to leave the house to avoid the temptation to turn on the teevee… Will check back in with you guys later. Courage!

I really want to know what night of the week Candy Crowley washes her hair?

Binders Full of Women

Romney’s Binder

#_Evanescent_Memes

The immigrant question of skilled workers coming in strikes at the the heart of the H1-B visa problem. Microsoft and other tech companies want immigrant labor that will accept 50% American pay because of economics. After 30 years of H1B they could have established their own schools and universities to train Americans, but the bottom line requires cheap imported labor. Do you have an I-phone? Nuff said.

Umm… no.

What Microsoft wants are workers who are trained on the cheap in India and China to work here in the US They are not paid 50% of an american worker – can’t do it, it is illegal.

TB: ‘My faith in God made me save the Olympics ‘

That and a billion-dollar bailout from the government. Which I can’t mention because WOLVERINES!

It was fascinating to watch Rmoney’s stammering and stuttering when Obama took responsibility for what happened in Libya. Almost as if he was terrified he had just been exposed to a virulent disease.

The “Binders full of Women” thing for me was the most stunning part of the debate. And a lost opportunity (yeah I know – Monday morning quarterbacking). But the response should have been: “Really Governor? You did that? Fabulous. So, you’re for affirmative action?”

Romney’s “binder full of women” compliments the Republican “legitimate rape” kits and mandatory vaginal probes.

Otherwise known as the GOP Gift Bag for American women.

1) I sent Miss zumpie, jr, aged 12 to the rec room to watch with Mr. zumpie, as I was too chicken. Five minutes later she returned and announced, “Mittens is stuttering all over the place and sounds really stupid. Obama doing really well, though.”

I reminded her that she needed to watch the debate for school.

“Oh, I don’t need to. I know how this will turn out, Obama’s obviously gonna win.”

2) I am now firmly and completely convinced that the Obama campaign planned this entire Kabuki pantomime. Why? If Obama had done this in the first debate all of Romney’s donors would’ve funded down ticket races. Obama wants a Dem senate, as well. Plus now the media has a NEW narrative–Obama 2, The Comeback Electric Bugaloo.

And yes, Chicago knows that the media is a pack of retarded clowns who will salivate at anything shiny

After 30 years of H1B they could have established their own schools and universities to train Americans, but the bottom line requires cheap imported labor.

Doesn’t work that way. The H1B is being abused, and it needs to go away. In its place, there needs to be a visa that goes to foreigners have tech skills and talent that they acquired by themselves, and gets them working in the US and paying US taxes. Fewer visas, better jobs, less scalping. But the high-end tech climate in the US is undeniably richer because of immigrants.

OK well even a few Long Island insecure sociopaths do manage to ask a good question twice a day. Otherwise, meh.

What Presedent iz going to lower my gas price pleez?

Meanwhile Teh Villagers of DC are in ecstasy because they think they have cleverly engineered the Horse Race to beat all Horse Races. AAAND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME. NECK AND NECK. WHO IS GONNA WIN?

The Villagers always win in their small communal mind. Epistemic closure is a terrible thing to waste when you have the opportunity fuck over the entire country.

Sing along with Willard:

Binders of women make my life so wonderful.

Binders of women help me sleep at night.

Binders of women solved my Cabinet problems.

Binders of women helped me lose tonight.

It’s an exceptionally bad night for the GOP. Bristol Palin, spawn of Sarah, just got her dancing ass kicked off DWTS.

WIN.

transcript, schmanscript! there’s video, I saw it on msnbc (not wasting time to go look for it. Those ijits that need to see it won’t watch anyway).

Go to hell Willard and take your dancing horse with you.

Missy Ann was not amused. Apparently, it isn’t her turn after all.

Actual phone call. Not a scam, just an excuse. He owes me money not vice versa.

I haz a sad that I wasn’t twitter-twattering last night – watertiger was here! And Thers!

Nothing from Althouse tho….

Phone banker wisdom: Undecided voters (undies) are either attention hogs or poor pitiful souls whom no one else ever calls.

Oh fer christ sake, grow a pair, make a decision and we’ll leave you alone.

It really does look like that, doesn’t it?

Meanwhile, the public cheers the sight of a media figure who actually does her frickin’ job for a change: http://news.firedoglake.com/2012/10/17/the-debates-benghazi-moment-america-cheers-the-media-correcting-the-record/

“Binders of women”- yeah, pretty awesome.

For me, though, the takeaway from the question was that Mitt wants to handle inequity for women by letting the magical free market take care of it. And oh, he wants us to know he’s a nice guy and hired a couple of women, after someone else called them to his attention.

Pictures of Lily, right?

Louch? Who just knows a word like louch? I stand in awe.

Glad you didn’t go with Romney Ann with the Shaky Hands. That would have been just so, so wrong.

I vaguely remember that about the time this whole election cycle started, Mitt Romney said he and Ann prayed about this. And apparently God commanded him to run for President. Who knew that God had such a cruel sense of humor? Or maybe HE just wanted to remind Mitt that for the money he spent on this circus, Mitt could have had a luxury yacht, a villa in Monaco, and another stable of therapy ponies.

The only time I have seen stars in the sky in my life was when I happened to be on Cape Cod right after a storm blew out to sea. Then again, I have lived my life in or near major cities.

I wonder how much of the nation knows that some of us have never seen stars? I wonder how many of us who have never seen stars know that some Americans get to see stars on a clear night?
