"I think what Justice Scalia wants to know is what James Madison thought about video games. Did he enjoy them?"

Ah, the subject of the much debated Federalist Paper number 86.

I watched Fox News and I liked it.

Paul Ryan is asked to discuss the slightest bit of factual detail about Romney's tax policies and repeatedly evades this sort of "gotcha" journalism.  I've been waiting for some media outlet to demand details for a long time and am downright amazed that it was Fox that delivered.  After spending two minutes avoiding answering the question "how much would the tax cuts cost without the base broadening", he says he doesn't have time to answer...

Honestly, Fox has been getting better, I think.

They're still holy-fuck-what-is-this batshit Conservative-Bias-Out-The-Ass insane, but with Shep Smith, and the few moments of actual reporting lately... They're not the projection of the Dark Lord Satan into our reality via American television that they used to be.

Ah, the subject of the much debated Federalist Paper number 86.
Wherein much discussion was had on the merits of Call of Duty's emphasis on the rugged individual, as opposed to Medal of Honor's glorification of the squad as the basic unit of effective organization and the bond of man to his brethren. Which gave us the immortal line from Jefferson, "Verily, this manure is wack. All of you are but newcomers to my scythe. Tremble in fear of my elite sniping abilities, dogs."

I don't know. I think I'd feel a little guilty about watching a grown millionaire get verbally bitch slapped. It's pretty damn funny that the last week both sides have done nothing but talk up the opponent's debating skills....in what reality is Romney even a half competent debater? He can't even talk alone on stage without sabotaging himself.

He's going to get destroyed, me thinks.

I'll happily read the transcript once it's over ;)

But as a rule I just don't watch politicians speak publicly, if I can avoid it. I'd rather have it in writing :P

Still, starting at 9 EST... hrm. Maybe. Doubtful, but maybe. Someone's stream of it, anyway.

I only have one TV, so I can't afford to throw a boot through it. I'll read the transcript and catch the juiciest bits on YouTube later, I'm sure.

More like he's no longer in charge of day-to-day operations. Too busy trying to not go to jail.

There's also the fact that they're in this for the money. They're not necessarily going to tie their fates to a sinking ship, if they can see the water rising.

An older quote from Todd Akin, recently come to light: abortion clinics are performing abortions on women who are not actually pregnant.
