Courtney, Cancelled. I vote for whatever results in the tastiest dinner.

Jana — you are very kind. You know who was really brilliant? I thought Obama truly came through last night. I kept thinking, now there’s a guy who knows what he’s talking about. Competence is so refreshing!

Ms. Sofa dweller — Pretty soon you’ll be able to look. I predict all will turn out fine.

Dear Friend Debby, You’re right — it can be so lovely to walk your dog. And that’s what I hope we’re all learning right now.

HMH — I like that mudflats blog. It’s wonderful to hear such a smart, local voice.

E — On a bad day, you have way more synapses than I will ever have. But I am going to try that bedtime bossy thing with my husband sometime. He stays up later than I do sometimes and I find that very distracting.

U-Dad — It is his JOB to debate all things. And that is just going to escalate. True, but so unfortunate. Eventually, though, they realize we were right all along about everything that matters. It’s going to be hard to wait for THAT light to turn on though.

Drat. There goes my political career, Ben. I don’t know about you, but I’m not moving!

Hilarious! I would like to cancel the “Eating out costs the same as making our own dinner” debate in this household…

Oh, there are many debates we need never have again, like the one about why we’re not moving to DC (it’s a swamp), and the one about why I like to buy lunch (because if I take lunch I throw it away and buy lunch anyway and if I can’t afford lunch then I am going to give up working).
As for the election, I can’t vote here, so am hiding my eyes and only occasionally peeking out to say ‘Has anyone fed Palin to bears yet?’

How’s that working out with you and W walking Archie together in the evenings? Last I heard, that was the plan because no one particularly loves walking Archie… Have you tried it? I know of a sweet little guy who would love to walk with you guys.
………

YES on 2
NO on 8
Obama/Biden all the way.

Love from Your Friend Debby

Yep, McSame is a coward and is using any excuse to get out of the debate.

Thanks for providing me with a big laugh after I watched the full 9 minutes of Sarah Palin’s encounter with the witch hunting pastor who prayed over her. You can find it on Mudflats, a blog on wordpress that is an interesting read.

Windy or not windy. 5 seconds max.

Oh golly, I had to read twice to understand that #4 is not addressed to your husband. I’m all, “Yeah, absolutely, when my husband goes to sleep before me I get a ton of writing done and sleep sooo well, fantastic idea, this rule, but how in the world did Lil get her darlin’ to go along…?”

And then a frying pan flew out of the cupboard and whacked me on the back of the head and the synapses started working again. They made a really cool snapping sound.

BlogLily, you’re sounding very presidential, but unless your husband bowls as well as he windsurfs, you’d probably be considered too elitist. I’m guessing he’d need to roll 200 fairly regularly to make for the fact that you are well-educated, you have a wonderful command of the English language and you live in Berkeley.

SW, The great thing is that they’re not that stupid! He doesn’t want to debate = he’s a total coward.

Why yes litlove, feel free to apply liberally — this idea works equally well in all households.

The sad thing is that McCain actually thinks the American people are stupid enough to fall for his little stunt here.

Hilarious – does this work over in the UK, too? There’s many a debate I’d like to draw a line under…

I’d vote for your cat over the republican candidate any old day Jacob.

That’s exactly how my cat reasons! …especially the nap part
