My Quick Reaction





Quick cause I am exhausted and I want to sleep, but the brilliance of Joe Torre is keeping me awake.


Damn. Nobody fucked up. I guess SNL will be funnier then tonight. Sarah Palin did a hell of a lot better then I thought she would so I guess John McCain wont kick her off the ticket. Thats a shame because I still think she is a moron and is hurting John. Her answers tonight were not dumb, but they were very vague and repetitive. Everything seemed to have the same answer and all the questions to her kind of blended in.

On the flip side of that Joe Biden also did better then I expected. In fact I would go so far to say that his performance was better than McCain and Obama's from their first debate. His answers were precise and actually had meat to them. Their were actual answers to issues and his answers on foreign policy seemed like he had a hell of a lot more experience then anyone else on these tickets. 

A very good job by Palin to stick in this thing. Nobody thought she would really beat Biden in this debate, but she held in there well enough. Biden however thoroughly impressed me.  


And yes I said the brilliance of Joe Torre. I hate the yankees, but the one thing I could always say was that Joe Torre was a great manager. He is proving that this year with the Dodgers as his formerly dysfunctional team is now shocking the team people were picking to win it all. Go Joe. I am routing for Terry v. Torre 2: This Time For the Whole Sha-Bang.

The thing that struck me last night was Biden's presence. He has the look and feel that I could trust him as our president.

And you're right, Palin was very vague and kept going to what she was comfortable with saying even if it didn't really answer the question posed. She did hold her own though better than I expected.

And I too have been saying for weeks I would love to see Dodgers vs. Red Sox in the World Series. If we can't win it all I hope Torre can so he can show NY that what they did to him was wrong and disrespectful...
