More articles by Michael HayneThe 'not so' Great DebateDid anyone happen to notice the trippy, hypnotic tie donned by McCain? And the fact that it only said "Live" during the camera shots of Barack? I am sure it was completely accidental, but I thought it would be downright hilarious if MSNBC were trying to show the imbecilic swing voters which candidate was living. But that ****ing tie! That tie was a barber poll/candy stripe on acid. The most interesting moment during the HOUR AND HALF of sheer circular logic was seeing McCain tweak and have mini strokes, although I guess that sort of happens when you demonize Barack for liberal spending when your ****ing empty-headed VPILF requested 27 million in earmarks to govern sticksville. My favorite moment, however, was when the topic of delivering broadband to rural areas came up. I mean, let’s start with teeth and books and work are way up. On a more serious note, capturing and/or killing a 50 something asshole (or "folk" as Obama called him) on Dialysis is hardly relevant; the man has invincible mystique and passed the torch to a young, tech savvy generation of religious fanatics. It would make good fodder for youtube and put Giuliani out of a job, but that's about it. With every passing day McCain is increasingly becoming the cantankerous, crotchety uncle living in the attic, wearing a tin foil cap and listening to Israeli Army Radio. I do believe that Obama missed several key opportunities to punish McCain, for example, McCain's drooling over his fondness for veterans after having fought against the new GI Bill and trying to reclaim respect for the Geneva Conventions despite having capitulated on the issue of torture earlier this year. But I am delighted that the debate delved into the realm of foreign affairs, demonstrating that the bush adminstration's thirst for global hegemony and military preponderancehas played an instrumental role in the deepening decline of our economy as it has taken monies away from domestic programs, e.g., 47 million without health insurance.
