Will I be watching the debate tonight? No - the 'debates', since they're such in name only, are too frustrating to watch - I want real arguments, real exploration of details, real analysis, I want the aggression of raw intellects banging up against each other in a fight to the death - I want something worthy of the significance of the event for christ sake.
I already know what I need to know, and I know what I want to see happen - if it does happen I'm fine learning about it tomorrow - if it doesn't happen, I don't wanna be a helpless, hapless part of it - because, let's face it, we all know the press, the media are primed to break out the 'Obama reborn... magic recaptured' crap and they're gonna jump on the slightest pretext, the flimsiest of justifications to get them there - and I have no desire to participate in such nonsense. I've just downloaded 'Call of Duty: Black Ops". I'm gonna go all Mark Corrigan and spend the night playing a game. Welcome to the end of the world.
