Rebate

Biden sounded the standard Democratic goo-gah about the middle class and Regulation and blah blah blah on the economy, then pivoted to avow eternal defense of Israel, escalation in Afghanistan, and something or other over the next year-and-half in Iraq. Palin was merely incoherent. I suppose that counts as a win for her. I was hoping they would eat each other, and after thirty minutes, realizing that it wasn't in the offing, I switched to liquor. My life, Oh Lord, for a cheeseburger.

I've got to say, IOZ, I was so far ahead of you. I was downing tequila by the glass come 6 Eastern, and that helped me maintain fortitude through the whole wretched thing.

Pre-party when it comes to the parties. Always.

She wasn't just incoherent; she was zealously incoherent. Incoherent about her zeal, and zealous about being the sort of normal person who is regularly incoherent, also. Doggone it.

I'm way ahead of both IOZ and Cuynnet.I was downing Pabst while still at work (helps that I work at home) and then switched over to watching me some Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Shit, I came here thinking it would be a debate free zone. I guess there's probably someone else that's way ahead of me<-->perhaps smoking opium under the rain of US bombs in Afghanistan with no electricity and therefore was spared the whole thing! Lucky bastards.

Random thought: when Greenwald lashes out at the victimology of the conservative movement, does he ever take a moment to look at the recommended diary list over at DailyKos?

Ok, back to Buffy...

Well, thanks to the magic of international time zones, I was in a drink / drug assisted slumber long before it started....

I was hoping they would eat each other

There's a couple of ways to interpret that, and I honestly can't decide which is worse...

I thought Palin's use of General McClellan to refer to Bill Clinton's diddling Monica with a cigar was DAGGER, yo.

I was downing black velvets at the pub watching the Phillies game and just took a moment to wonder why everybody was watching Fargo when I got home.

Yeah? Well, I'm a Cubs fan. I never stop drinking.

God, it's like frat college, USA in here.

"I drank SO MANY BEERS and did SO MANY DRUGS last night, brah!"

"Not as much as me man, I was fuckin' WASTED, dude. I fuckin' made out with my chem TA! The ugly one!"

"FUCKIN' SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET"

Wait a minute... that was you? Shit, I wondered why you kept going for my tits.

I thought 250 milligrams of Bali-ized MDMA would give me enough compassion to sit through the thing, but Biden just looked like a big lizard and Palin like a kewpie doll...

IOZ said...

Oh please. That poor woman . . . that poor slut kidnapped herself. You said so yourself, dude.

That's funny. I understood everything she said. But then, my mind isn't destroyed by drugs.

I've been adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.

You mind if I do a J?
