And People Wonder Why My Generation Is So Cynical

So, before last night's "debate" news anchor Peter Jennings told America that the event we were going to see was "a great opportunity for all of us in this country to take measure" of these two candidates.

Really?

Because it's awfully hard to take measure of two candidates when we're saddled with talk of ties and podiums and who stayed on message...ugh. Two blowhards, being listened to and commented on by 100 other blowhards, trying to come up with a sound byte for the 10PM newscast is not a debate.

It's a political rally without flag-waving supporters but with a moderator and a time limit.

Out of disgust, I'm seriously looking at Michael Badnarik as the recipient of my meaningless vote (thank you, electoral college) in November.

Politics. Ugh.
