Can someone briefly explain to me how this $700 billion bail out is going to help? From an knowledgeable person (me), it seems like, "Hey, no matter how bad things get, we will always come to the rescue." How is this going to teach others to not do the same thing if they're going to be bailed out anyway?

Let me just say I was totally wrong about saying palin was the better vp choice than biden, I think I said this like 2 or 3 weeks ago. After seeing Pallin's interviews with Couric, Gibson, and meeting with press by herself this woman just really needs to be quiet. Almost everything that comes out of her mouth seems dumb somehow. JM really needs to coach her about meeting with press and doing interviews, oh wait he's not much better. :lol: Those two are two peas in a pod and they really do complement each other. I'm sorry but people that are really considering voting for McCain really need to ask themselves are you really okay with pallin being president if god forbid something happened to McCain? McCain is 72, hot tempered, and has a history of cancer, so his health is an issue.

I haven't fully watched the debate, but the snippets that I have seen makes obama look like the winner.

I'm okay with the bailout if none of the CEO's of these companies get any money and people that have had to leave their homes because of not being able to pay the mortgage get to move back into their homes. I think its interesting that they want a bailout but when it came to people losing their homes they weren't given the time of day. Not saying that the homeowners didn't have any of the blame, but its really hypocritical for them to think we the U.S. tax payers many of whom have lost their homes would want to bail them out when they don't even have a home to go to.

EK I agree, this woman is just plain scary and should be the last person that should put in a position of power.

I recall her saying that she would be prepared to go to war with Russia over the Georgia stuff. And if this happened IMHO I think that what Russia could do can make 9/11 look like a sunday school picnic.

But then I do believe that McCain only chose her cuz Obama was the democrate choice and Hilary was not his running mate and he wants the female vote. And had Hilary won the Democrat vote then I think that McCain more than likely would have chosen an African American as her funning mate

I watched PBS during the conventions too. I agree, it was very good and right up the middle. I watched the debates on CNN because they had the audience monitor.

Tina Fey was great. The debate skit was very funny too. At the end, they showed "Hillary" and said they had invited her in case McCain didn't show. :lol: :lol:

GREETINGS FELLOW DEBATERS!

We're still having a wonderful time here on the beautiful Central Coast of California, but I did want to take a few minutes to check in and say hello to you all. Please note that, although I did not watch the debate, I caught glimpses of it from a restaurant here.

I somehow managed yesterday to snap a photo of the debate on TV -- great two-shot of John and Barrack... a particularly heated exchange. I'm sure you all will remember this moment:

John McCain and Barrack Obama square off in a heated exchange.

I should add that the third party back there is Bob Barr. He's dejected because they wouldn't let him debate.

Just one of the more interesting debate moments I've seen this weekend! Seriously, that was taken about 4 miles north of San Simeon on Highway 101 on the Central Coast. Talk about awesome to see these guys up close and personal!! Hearst Castle was way cool, too... The tour guide noted that Hearst, despite his wealth, was ANYTHING but CONSERVATIVE!! Happy debating to you all... will talk to you soon!

--Brian

      See what I did?  
    • Finishing up SONS OF ANARCHY with the final season
    • Tbh I’m ready for Sharon to get with a silver fox. It was gross years ago when the writers put her with Victor and Tucker but I feel like enough time has passed. The actress is older now, and if they aren’t gonna put her back with Nick then might as well put her with a hot older, powerful man. (Not Victor, just to be clear..)  That’s very interesting and thanks for the response. That was a question that has been nagging me for awhile.

    • At first I was on the fence about Gio being Brooklyn/Dante's son, but I've been loving the build up to this reveal.  I'm glad Korte/CVE took their time with this story because the reveal was excellent!  When Gio found out half way through the episode, I thought, "Why did he find out now? This should be the cliffhanger."  Boy, was I wrong.  Gio smashing the violin and revealing the truth to everyone like that was really soapy and what I want to see in a soap opera.  Can't wait for tomorrow.   
    • It's beyond pathetic and absurd. If this is the budget model they have to follow, I'm OK with a cancellation. This sets problem is horrendous, and it's destroying the show. I can't get past it.
    • I don't think Josh Swickard's voice is horrible or anything, but the show makes it seem like he could just casually take up a singing career if he felt like it because he's that talented.  He's not.  I am not sure he would even be able to be a backup singer on Broadway or in most bands. I thought DZ was the worst of all the dancers, but adorably so.  You could tell this wasn't in DZ's wheelhouse and it was fun.  On the very light-hearted end of the Nurses Ball shindig.  Gio Mazza continues to impress.  What a find.  It's a shame it took the show an entire year to give him any meaty material.  While Joss was off playing spy games on air way too long. The violin smashing was perfectly in character with someone related to Sonny lol.  Nature vs Nurture.  The Corinthos side won.
    • Today was excellent soap. I had no problem with GM’s performance. I watch soaps for big dramatic blowups like that. What a great cliffhanger. God I’m so ready for all of Drew’s misdeeds to come out. He is so damn slimy. Also I hope absolutely no one is there for Willow’s dumb ass when this all blows up. As everyone has pointed out Tracy would never be stupid enough to just leave ketamine sitting in her car. PCPD continues to be complete morons.
    • Well, I'll say this much...I've been gone for months and my first tune in...nice to see FOINE Isaiah as the first image I saw.   And I'm actually impressed by how much Drew is running/scheming/manipulating everything and everyone in sight. Cuz he's teamed up with TRACY now? TRACY??? Who he was slapsticky feuding with months ago. And seems to have a countermove for every person against him now...which now takes up almost all the whole canvas vs just a limited part of it months ago.    He really has risen to...mmmm not quite Stefano Dimera evil...yet...but Mitch Laurence manipulation?? That's quite a leap in three months. Again...impressed.
    •   Josh Swickard has a more than passable voice. His performance of "Smooth Criminal" a few years ago showed he has talent. But damn, this wasn't it. That song (a Swickard original?) was lame and awful, and the accompaniment by 3 non-professional dancers was...a choice. The entire thing was pretty cringe and a big YIKES. As for Dominic Zamprogna, I thought he was the BEST of the 3 dancers. JK and SW were stuck onstage without a net.   -- The Gio reveal was great soap. The Nurses Ball backdrop was the perfect place for that to happen, and reason enough for the NB to exist. I'll take that kind of cliffhanger any day of the week.     Lots of comments here about GM getting too loud and dramatic, but I like the choice, and I think it worked. It played against type. Gio was onstage performing, and he gave us a real performance.      We seem to love all the soap traditions being brought back to life on BTG, but when GH does it with the violin smashing, then it's too much? That scene gave us a moment.   For me, I can put aside how many rootable characters are on a soap when the drama is good -- and I think we're getting good drama. And isn't Gio rootable? Emma? Liz? Dante was rootable until he went on a "Destroy Gio" tour the past couple weeks. Besides, it depends on your definition of "rootable." I think Tracy is rootable even though she is deeply flawed and makes a lot of mistakes.
