BACK TO THE LION'S DEN

Coming to you live -- again -- from The Hub, the heart of the UCen, deep within the southern kingdom of UCSB, to watch the Vice Presidential debate.

...I think somebody else has mentioned this, but I will again anyway. Judy Woodruff (ugh) is reporting live from "spin alley" where all the campaign surrogates from both sides are getting ready to offer spinnish statements to anybody with a microphone. Everyone in that room will be, in effect, lying to reporters. What the hell are they doing in there? Are they going to pick the lie they like the most and run with it? Well they did that with the GOP spin on Kerry's global test line. (I still don't think that will hurt Kerry much, if at all)

...Okay Miles, enough with the numbered keypads for undecided voters. If they haven't figured out which candidate they support yet, then they obviously don't know how to operate electronic devices.

...You know, there's a Wendy's right behind me. Maybe in honor of John and Elizabeth I should get one of them square burgers in their honor.
