Serious suggestion: don’t watch these debates. Read a book or do something valuable to you. It is a better use of your time and will give you better head space.

There really is no need to pay attention to this stuff. Plenty of folks will tell us who did what to whom afterwards. And none of it will matter. (One reason the GOP doesn't care about winning elections is because they have become proficient at stealing them, through the anti-democratic electoral college (created to prevent the person with the most votes from taking office) and voter suppression efforts; they don't need to get the most votes any more.

Here in Germany, we slept, and did not go looking for a replay when offered by NYT online. I would rather be condemned to watch faucets dripping than that crew trying to one-up each other without POing the Orangutang not in the room.

I watched Dodgeball: A True Underdog story.

It turned out to be much more highbrow than the actual debate.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a direct political question.

I read a new Noir Novel and watched South Park. Also more enlightening.

I read an interesting mystery novel, played the NYT Spelling Bee (try it, it's great fun!), and knew that I could read all about it this morning.

If you recommend the novel, what was it?

I am reading all of the Lars Kepler novels. They are Swedish detective novels. The stories are dark and very interesting.
