Debatable Wisdom
So a few additional random thoughts about the debate:

• I also say "Aargh!" when TiVo changes the channel to IFC to catch Dinner For Five in the middle of the debate while I'm screwing around with this Internet stuff.

• Why are "town hall" debates always in some auditorium at a private university? Shouldn't they be in a "town hall" somewhere? I'd like to see a debate at the West Baton Rouge Parish Police Jury building or the DeKalb County School Board office. Hell, even the Daley Center in Chicago. You know where, they got that big Picasso.

• Somebody needs to tell the President to stop barking at folks when he gets excited. He needs to be showing conviction of purpose Gary Cooper-style, not Dennis Hopper-style.

• OK, I know it's a distinction without a difference to most people, but "trial lawyer" is not the same thing as "plaintiff's lawyer." Let's recognize that there's a whole cadre of "trial lawyers" who spend their careers representing doctors and technological innovators and soft drink companies and other keystones of society against the John Edwards-style plaintiff's lawyers.

Atticus Finch was a "trial lawyer" for christsakes.
