I called it either a draw or a slight Cheney win. Edwards was a bit too 'slick Willie' and Cheney was too much an evil old man. Neither really had substance - Edward's sliding the question tactics were worse than Cheney's. Many called Cheney cold, but I found he was dignified and composed, while Edwards was eager to use any cheap attention-demanding behavior he could to showboat. It's sad comparing the president's performance (monkey caught in the headlights) to either one of the VPs.

I don't think that attacking Edward's attendance record in congress is refuted by meeting at special events. http://www.Factcheck.org only quibbles about whether the two met before, not about the horrid attendance and voting record alleged by the VP. The part about meeting for the first time might not have been the truth, but it did drive a point home that should stick. If Edwards does not have a notably bad attendance and voting record, that fact that should be published. If Edwards does have a crappy record, then a friggin 'prayer breakfast' and the other event hardly are a defense.

I thought it was genuinely shitty for Edwards to use Cheney's kid under the guise of complementing the VP. Please people - don't tell me you fell for that. The false compliment was obviously designed to bring to the public eye his family queer for the expected negative effects of judgment by the US audience. Cheney didn't dignify the veiled attack, and I was impressed with his false thank you. It was the most socially appropriate thing to do.

Yay to Edwards for the "one man one woman" personal feeling, while supporting gay marriage/rights. Oh good grief Charlie Brown. < TeacherVoice > Wah wah wooh waah, wah waa waa woh." < /TeacherVoice > Way to straddle the fence, asshole. No, I can't be mad...I know not hating fags is political suicide, but it still makes my skin crawl.

I've heard that the increase in malpractice insurance rates is not based on increased costs of malpractice suits, but instead on the fact tha the insurance industries have lost so much money over time to the plunging stock market and relaxed standards about their investments. I don't know if this is true - or I would have expected Edwards to comment on it in response to attacks for his prior suits.

All my posts are about things you can see on TV. What does this tell you about my life right now? The other night a Samari Jack cartoon brought tears to my eyes. I'm all fucked up again.

I don't seem to notice the passage of time. I was on the metro today when my fiance popped into my head - I can still remember how she smelled. I remember people from middle school, from last summer...the difference in time doesn't seem important. Perhaps I'm living in the past as all my current life is composed of reflection and solitude while I work. Bleah.

I think I remember smells more than faces, and never names.
