Just looked at my site traffic for the past month, and I have a new one day record - at least since the hosting changeover - of 4759 from September 12th.

Thank you all for stopping by.

Journalism is dead. Proof.

Speaking of which, with tonight being the VP debate, what happens if Sarah Palin handles Joe Biden?

She's been nothing but slandered in the media (except for Fox) for the last month. Probably a lot of McCain's recent slide has to do with the fact that the media has portrayed her so negatively, casting dubious aspersions on his judgment.

So what happens if she hits a home run? Or even just a good stand up double?

The debate is the one chance where even if the moderator is a declared Obama partisan, Sarah Palin has a chance to shine with very little ability to frame and edit on the part of the media. What happens if she demonstrates a grasp as good or superior to Joe Biden, one of the more gaffe-tastic of our Senators? Had the media been doing as much hard reporting on Joe Biden as it has been slandering of Sarah Palin, we would be looking at a very different race right now. So what happens if Sarah demonstrates she's at least as sharp as Senator Foot, Ankle, and Knee in Mouth? Could this turn into a different race?

What if all of Joe Biden's gaffes came out of Sarah Palin's mouth?

I'd say there's at least a fifty percent chance of her handing Gormless Joe his head. But we'll see.

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
