This election needs to end. Soon. Last night, I had several dreams about tonight’s debate<\/a>. Each dream had a different spin. Kerry bombs. Bush cries. It was like my subconscious was cycling through every possibility. How big of a dork do you have to be to dream about a political debate? I’d much prefer to dream about all the sex I’m not getting in real life. At least those dreams have more entertainment value and are a lot less disconcerting. As for the debate itself, we probably won’t see a repeat of last Thursday’s debate. Bush will be looking to portray Kerry as a godless Commie liberal who wants to tax the very air you breathe. Kerry needs to fling these labels back in Bush’s face without looking like a bully. You can expect Kerry to hammer home the latest disappointing job numbers<\/a>, the recent WMD report<\/a>, and Bremer’s statements about Iraq<\/a>. As long as he doesn’t come across as professorial or condescending or (and this would be a killer) defensive, he should be okay.
\nI want to give my friend Susannah Breslin a big WELCOME BACK! Susannah returns to the ether with her new site: The Invisible Cowgirl<\/a>. Go give her some love. Susannah is sort of the Unofficial Godmother of The 19th Floor and I’m always happy to proclaim her coolness to the masses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
