Watchin’it

By

I hear the season finale of Project Runway is tonight. It’ll be interesting to see how the numbers stack up between it and tonight’s final Presidential debate. With McCain on the ropes and Obama soaring, the CW is that McCain needs to break Obama’s nose while still coming off as a steady hand at the tiller. Obama needs to keep doing what he’s been doing. The only way tonight hurts Obama’s chances is if he gets caught licking himself like a lonesome Bassett Hound.

I’m going to the Asheville Brewing Co. on Coxe Ave. to watch tonight. Xty and Muller talked me into going out, so I am. You?

Project Runway first, then the debate. Priorities.

I’ll be there, although I will be running late so by the time I get there will probably be no place for me to sit.

Will be at Coxe for the final round…. What should my drinking game be? For the vice-prez debate I took a drink at every “Maverick” Palin uttered… Woke up next day hungover. Tonight it might be every time McSame says “Change”.
I have to work early, so I’d better choose carefully. That Maverick thing had me on the couch with the ibuprofen all morning.

George Stephanopoulos: “Can he pledge to serve only one term? Can he challenge Barack Obama to more debates? Can he announce a bipartisan cabinet? Those are all conceivable long balls. But there’s not a whole lot he can do, at this point, to change the dynamic in one debate.”

He could stop wandering around in front of the camera like one of those ducks at a carnival game. That would certainly help.

Well, uh, Arratik, I sorta need to know kinda soon. I have to drink less beer to liveblog, but it’s worth it. Whereas if I just watch the thing, I can get wasted enough to get all emotional and cry when good things happen.
