Dear Sarah Palin:

Debate n.: Discussion or consideration of opposing reasons; argument about or deliberation on a question.

Not!Debate: Saying whatever gets one's point across, regardless of the original question or the response of the opposition to said question.


I'm just sayin',

Me.



In related news, I can't get the video stream to work on C-SPAN, so I'm watching it on CPAC (which is webcasting both the US VP debate AND the Canadian English-language Leaders' debate). Is "ironic" the right word? Something like that.

Also, no love, US and Canada, for scheduling both debates for the SAME TIME. WTF?

If I weren't so bent on Obama getting elected, it would be hysterical to write in Jack Layton in November. Or Elizabeth May, since IIRC she was born in the US and could legally be elected President.

My local NDP guy is from the US. :D

But, yeah, that'd be fun. That's why we have black ballots, here, to avoid those shenanigans! I've already got about eight choices anyway...

Black Ballot? 'Splain, Lucy.

The ballots are black with white text and white circles for pencilling in your X. There is no space to write in another name.

Not that you can't see the graphite on the black in the right light, but in principle!

It's a good idea, but not as much fun as writing in someone undeclared or dead or Canadian. Or maybe all of the above! *writes in Pierre Trudeau*

I want to go back in time and vote for Trudeau. *nods*

I'm reading his bio. Am v. impressed. Where are people like that today? Woe.
