Reply #9: So have you ever seen

unidentified flying jewelry? Ick! And when did we surrender our right to choose our president via the ballot box? When, exactly, did we hand that function over to the mainstream media? Whence do Blitzer and Williams and Russert derive the authority to virtually ignore legitimate candidates while manipulating the others into schtick shooting galleries?

Honestly, the "debates" have become blatantly contrived, even to the willingly bamboozled. That said, there is a trick that helps to endure them -- picture Blitzer, Russert, Williams, etc., in fishnet stockings and way too much lipstick, posing under a streetlamp. Amusing as that picture is, it is sadly appropriate given their propensity for tricking the proposition that we are entitled to hear from all the candidates, not just the ones of the networks' choosing.

Ah, coffee and Nance Greggs. What a great way to start the day!
