Sad to say I didn't catch the debate, but I've read all about it in various media (some biased towards each side)...
The the best reposrt of the aftermath was the one where it seemed that McCain claimed to have won the debate at 10am the morning BEFORE the debate actually happened...

Dear Friends:
We may have thought we wanted a woman on a national political ticket,
but the joke has really been on us, hasn't it? Are you as sick in your
stomach as I am at the thought of Sarah Palin as Vice President of the
United States ?
Since Palin gave her speech accepting the Republican nomination for the
Vice Presidency, Barack Obama's campaign has raised over $10 million
dollars. Some of you may already be supporting the Obama campaign
financially; others of you may still be a little honked off over the
primaries. None of you, however, can be happy with Palin's selection,
especially on her positions on women's issues. So, if you feel you
can't support the Obama campaign financially, may I suggest the
following fiendishly brilliant alternative?
Make a donation to Planned Parenthood. In Sarah Palin's name. And
here's the good part: when you make a donation to PP in her name,
they'll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in
her honor. Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website:
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/
You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the 'in
Sarah Palin's honor' card. I suggest you use the address for the McCain
campaign headquarters, which is:
McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington , VA 22202
Feel free to send this along to all your friends and urge them to
do the same.

Excerpt:
In an address last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it "God's will."
Palin asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there.
"Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God," she said. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan."
I always hate it when people refer to war as "God's will," so you can imagine how I feel about war being referred to as "a task from God"...
I"m kinda pissed right now...

Our luggage was delivered to our hotel a mere 25 mutherfucking hours after our flight landed...
I really hate the airline industry... this trip is making a 20 hour drive (assuming traffic is good) seem more appealing... even with the added cost of 2 extra vacation days, and probably a nights stay in a randumb hotel in (let's say) ohio...
Edit: Side note: I hate Ohio, so that's saying a lot...
Side note: my first nephew is pretty cute... pics to facebook incomming once I'm back on the east coast...

I left home at 7am this morning.... drove to the airport, and got on a flight... that flight landed in Charlotte... everything to that point was good...
However, upon landing in Charlotte... my day turned to shit. And I don't mean that nice smelling shit... I mean stinky-smelly-farty-shit.
Basically everything went wrong that could have gone wrong (and still have us arriving at O'Hare in time for rush hour traffic) did go wrong.
We went from one flight to two (or two to three if you count the day as a glorious whole)... one airline to two... arrived several hours later than planned... both the second and third flights of the day were quite bumpy (the first was a smooth as glass, in case you're wondering) and... just to top it off we spent an hour waiting for bags which would not arrive...
Now I know what you are thinking... you're thinking (if you know me at all), "David, you're not a patient man. I do not believe you waited for an hour for your bag"... well you're half right. After about 30 min we went over to the counter to complain... they looked at our flight number and said we should wait till 45 minutes... we went back after the 45 minute deadline was up... they brushed us off again and told us to wait for the hour mark... then they processed our claim at about the hour and 5 minute mark.
As of 8pm or so our bags still haven't arrived at O'Hare and won't utill tomorrow (at the earliest)...
So now I'm here in my hotel drinking a spiced apple malt beverage and wishing plauge and pestilence upon the uinborn children of several airline workers...

I laughed at something I read on-line... and when coie asked me what was so funny... and i told her... I didn't have to explain who Gary Gygax was...
Calling all fans of Joss whedon, Neil patric Harris (Doogie Houser MD), Nathon Fillon (Mal from Firefly), and funny internet randomness... check out this link to an internet miniseries made by these people (and others) which is quite comical...

If you don't play world of warcraft and you don't kow my friend
tcepsa then you will not be interested in this post... go away before I bore you...
For the rest of you... I have enjoyed many made at home you-tube-styles warcraft movies with plot or humor set in the world of azeroth... One of my favorites was one called "the brothers tauren"... I hadn't posted it here because more than half the jokes require a working knowledge of WoW... However while bumming around you tube I found they made a sequel which seems to require far less of knowledge of the game... I was considering posting that vid when I saw the makers of that one had made a movie in the Sims... It had occurred to me previously that one of the Brothers Tauren ("Finite" I think his character's name is) sounds an awful lot like
tcepsa... what's MORE amazing is that in the sims movie they did he acts a lot like
tcepsa [u]imagines[/u] himself to be... You know... kind of like Stewie from Family guy... anyway...
If you lay wow follow the link and watch some funny movies... if you know
tcepsa follow the link and watch a character with a voice similar to
tcepsa...
