WWTBAM Bored

- My office is in Nassau County, north shore of Long Island, maybe 15 miles from Hofstra University, site of this evening's debate. Our UPS guy told us yesterday he will be picking up today at 3:30, instead of 4:30, because some roads will be closed around the debate area. Hofstra is also very close to Nassau Coliseum, so I guess there is no Islander game tonight.

- If either candidate tries to inculcate himself by saying "it's great to be on Lawn Guyland," he will lose 50% of the vote he would already have from the area.

- Can you feel the electricity in the air? People can't wait to see who's going to win. Not the debate, silly, the Quadrennial Bored Presidential Prophesy Contest. Tune in October 21 for the official low-down.

Is this debate site open to the public or is it by invitation only?

I read one article about it, and if I recall correctly, the bulk of the seats are given to the campaigns to distribute as they see fit, and the remainer were given to Hofstra to distribute as they see fit.

Feel free to contradict me, if you have better information.

I have no information; that's why I asked.

That was an open invitation to the Board to contradict me. Like we wait for invitations for that.

I used to live a mile away and worked across the street. I'm sure that area traffic will be a mess tonight.

It's a mess when all they have going on is a hockey game.

Come to think of it, probably won't be that much of a difference.

Time to play Supply the Punch Line:

One is so boring, meaningless, and tedious that the vast majority of the country will never watch a minute of it. The other will be hosted by Bob Schieffer tonight.

You contradicted yourself earlier. Refer to the following:

There has been no bickering in reply to this post. Nary a bicker has been noticed. I say, if you are going to invite bickering, make sure the bickerers are ready to do their part.

That wasn't a contradiction. That was a faulty assumption.

Suddenly, this sounds like a Monty Python sketch.
