Ugh. Watching this stupid debate is like watching the Red Sox in the postseason. You absolutely know that something catastrophic is about to happen, but there's nothing to do but wait for it while listening to the television talking emptily in the meantime. Blah blah...I believe...war on tara...blah. Update: ...hard work...(pause)......and then John Kerry almost forgot his closing statement. Dear God. Nearly flawless otherwise, I thought.
