I dont care about the debate and frankly I never did

Who are we kidding? Is anyone going to watch this debate and change their minds about who they are going to vote for? Is Obama going to close the sale? Is McCain going to pull off a mask and reveal his inner Nixon to the world?

No.

Stop kidding yourselves into thinking that you are going to see something here, because there is nothing to see tonight, because its already happened, the "press-**" has seen to it that the message they want to send will be the only message that gets out.

Let me be "Kreskin" here and predict whats going to happen.

10 seconds after the debate is over, the left will hit "enter" on their progressive-apple-laptops-that-look-just-like-girls-makeup-cases-from-back-when-girls-actually-carried-such-things and publish their already written posts, saying that McCain looked tired and worn out, stammered around stage, while Obama looks "statesmanlike" with a firm grip of the facts, even though the word most often repeated tonight by Barack Obama will be "ahh, ummmm, errr". The first 6 paragraphs will also breathlessly point out the relationship between "Ole Miss", deeply entrenched American racism and the shock (to some) of a black man running for President,all while quietly whispering the little known fact that McCain appears to be a "white man".

I'll repeat it again. This is an exercise in pointless twaddle with as much to do with actual politics as the WWF has to do with actual sports.

I dont care if McCain walks out begins to channel the ghost of Jim Morrison, drops his pants and takes a big whizz on stage shouts "I AM THE LIZARD KING!!!,because even if he did do that, I'm still voting for him. Quite frankly, if he does do that, I will probably send his campaign money. If he also turns around smacks Jim Lerher to the ground and calls him "a commie punk", I'll fly to Manahttan and wear a "MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT" sandwich board in Times Square and ring a bell and hand out campaign literature to the New Yorkers like those "end is nigh" folks.

I suggest to you that rather than sit in front of the TeeVee, a better use of you time would be for you all take the opportunity to go for a walk in the autumn air and enjoy the company of good friends.

** - "Press" used to be a word that invoked the use of a "printing press " in the creation of distibutable information. This is not to say that in those days the information was any better, but in those days you could always reuse the paper for other purposes, such as bird cage liners, training your puppy or what is called when camping "Mountain money". Now the word "press" has come to mean the feeling my head gets either when I place my skull between a C-Clamp and tighten the screws and its the exact same feeling I get if I watch MSNBC for more than 10 minutes, or if Alan Colmes starts to talk or if someone decides this would be the perfect time to talk to Rosie O'Donnell and get her feelings on the election.
