Last night I alternated between the Veep debate and the Twins-Yankees games. Neither were very exciting, and neither had outcomes that I liked.

John Edwards, with his dreamy eyes and perfect hair, is terribly smug. In fact, he almost ranks up there with Bush on the Smug-Monkey-O-Meter. He's got a lotta cockiness for a guy who has only been in the Senate for 4 years, but I guess that being a trial lawyer does that to you. Cheney looks like he's on death's door, but I suppose spending that much time hiding in an undisclosed location makes you pretty pale. He still sounds strong though. Bad eye contact. Still admire the man for his long career of public service and his business sense.
