Fleeing Thoughts: Presidential Debate Number One

-Watching McCain and Obama debate each other in such a dry fashion made me miss Bill Clinton. He could hand you a sack of shit, tell you it was a bouquet of roses and you would know he was lying, but you bought it anyway. Bullshit just sounded good coming from him.

-My favorite moment of the debate came when the candidates were discussing the possibility of Iran possessing nuclear weapons. McCain said that a nuclear armed Iran would be an "existential threat" to Israel. An "existential threat"? What the hell does that mean? Do nuclear threats haves existential doubts? "I'm a nuclear threat, but do I really exist? Do any of us really exist? I would think about it but I prefer to stay in bed all day and sleep."

-McCain told a story about getting the bracelet of a dead soldier from the soldier's mother. Obama countered by saying he had a bracelet as well; it was very juvenile, almost as if he was saying, "I've got a bracelet too, grampa!" Dragging dead soldiers into your little political exercise is deplorable. They should both be ashamed.
