Although I hadn’t intended to, I actually stayed up and watched last night’s dog and pony show. Well, some of it. I must’ve passed out and went to bed (yeah, in that order) at some point. Anyhow, what I did see pretty much sucked. This morning’s conventional wisdom says that Romney won, Obama sucked, and Jim Lehrer was the worst debate moderator in the history of presidential debates. Up next, “the bounce.” And then the horse race will be on. Rather depressing, if you ask me.
On the bright side, I watched “Heist: Who Stole The American Dream?” on SnagFilms (via the Roku, though you can watch it online, too – free for a week or something), and it was pretty good. Also depressing, of course. Narrated by our old friend Thom Hartmann. The short summary is that we’ve all been screwed (but then you probably knew that already.
Of course, if you think we’re screwed now, wait until President Romney and his gang get control. I think my retirement plans are pretty much shot to hell.
