Well, I was right on the first and sort of wrong on the second -- I think SARAH!!!!! got in a dig at the MC -- but I've already decided not to pursue this joint press conference any further. It's not the candidates speaking, it's their armies of advisers; and the morons staging these things don't mind because they think two teams of handlers talking over each other and down to the public is DEMOCRACY. "Debates" are a good in and of themselves, even if the proxies so snow us over with their empty talking points and dubious "facts" we know less of the candidates than we did; but even as we know less with each new joint press conference the organizers grow ever more proud of themselves.

That the people speaking their respective staffers' words are 1. a pompous blowhard and 2. a grating airhead is another matter, but others can write millions of words on the subject better than I -- and they will.

I was bored the last time; I'd be bored this time, and I have better things to do -- like getting my sleep naturally.
