Debate rules

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on September 30, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Just overheard on KEXP, during a momentary digression to talk about tonight’s presidential debate…

“You’ll be happy to know that the podiums are lucite, clear. So there won’t be anybody scratching their balls during this debate.”

(long pause)

“Did you just say what I think you did?”

“Yup.”

“I don’t know if you can say that!”

“Oops! I hope the boss wasn’t listening.”

“We crossed a line. I didn’t know there were any left.”

Incidentally, they’re in the midst of their pledge drive. If you don’t listen to KEXP yet (and you don’t even have to live in Seattle, thanks to the miracle of streaming audio), you should…and if you do, toss ’em a few dollars. I just did. :)
