Which debate are you tuning into tonight? It was hard for me to choose, so I made a compromise:
There’s Palin and Dion. One thing I have taken out of this debate (so far) is that MAN, the Americans sure do know how to put on a better show. At times, the debate between the five Canadian prospects is messy and overwhelming, although truly reminiscent of a visit to Parliament where you will see shouting matches and vulgar language. It is more of a “debate” in the true sense of the word. Whereas the Americans is all neat and tidy and more professional looking. Does that matter? SHOULD it matter?
I liked at the beginning of the American debate when Biden quietly jabbed Palin by saying “Nice to meet you.” HA! Take that Palin, I don’t know what it is about her (perhaps all the negative bloggeries swaying my opinion slightly) but she just rubs me the wrong way! She is dragging her teenager all around to interviews all over America with her, why? That girl should be in school learning! My first thought when I noticed that she had her daughter with her for Katie Couric’s interview was that she was sending a message: “Be easy on me, my little girl is here and doesn’t want to see you being mean to her Mommy.”
Also, I don’t like the way they are dealing with gay rights. In my opinion – gay or lesbian Americans who can get married means HAPPY AMERICANS which is what America really needs right now. Their economy is heading towards the shitter, these people may have lost all their assets and investments, but at least just let those two women get married so they too can live a happy and fulfilled life! Happy Americans will lead to a happier country, in my own (admittedly slightly naive) opinion.
Okay, there is my two cents rant about politics. Now on to rant about something else – Tim’s car.
I love Tim’s car. This 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis has been through the best of times:
His car is really a party animal.
Last week became the worst of times:
It got broken into, window smashed and his GPS stolen. Can you believe that this happened in my own “secure” parkade in the basement of my apartment building?!? My building is not huge, just 6 floors with about 10 apartments on each floor and isn’t in a really busy, dangerous neighbourhood (or so I thought). This caused a huge fight between my building manager and I, resulting in my walking down the main street downtown crying! I was just soo fuming mad that this happened. The $250 repair bill didn’t help either. Calgary isn’t the safest place these days, I have laid in bed at night worrying about my own safety at times. I grew up on a farm (we don’t even know where the keys to lock our doors are) and then moved to Guelph, the only place I was exposed to actual crime and violence was in the papers.
P.S. Biden just said “Because I’m a man, I don’t know what it’s like to raise two kids alone.” WHAT!!!! Mr. Matt Logelin, and the thousands of other North American men should be shaking their fists right now, just as I am. Biden, take that back! A man is just as capable of raising children as a woman.
EDIT: Now I’ve gone and made a fool of myself – I knew I shouldn’t have talked politics! Correction to Biden’s statement: It was more along the lines of him talking about the fact that he WAS a single parent. Did you know you can already find a complete transcription of the entire debate? I found that really interesting.
Uh-oh Biden, look what just happened:
I’ve lost you.
