SPIN

I deliberately did not watch the Presidential Debate last night because 1) I tape it for later enjoyment so I could fast forward through the verbsmaking it all the more fun, 2) nothing new will be said, 3) I had long ago decided who not to vote for, 4) it was up against the season opener of Supernatural and I always choose the good stuff, and 5) there was going to be a lot of spin.

The spin evidently came not only from the candidates and their advisors, staff, allies, and/or syncophants, but also from many of those watching or listening to the debate at home.  And. boy, were they spinning!  Well, their heads, at least.  Some very cool debate drinking games were in force last night, folks.

For instance:

So why worry about all these proposed voter restriction laws?  If this keeps up a good number of Americans may not be able to find a voting booth at all.

  1. I hosted a feed on my blog of DEMOCRACY NOW!'s attempt to augment the debate with Green candidate Jill Stein and Justice Party's Rocky Anderson answering the same questions of sorts, as much as Lehrer could spit them out...
