I thought, "Oh, please, don't say 'maverick' again!"

Ah, this is the first time I've been able to post on your blog! It always said I had the math problem wrong!!!! argh!

Seriously. I thought she was getting kickbacks for mentioning the word "maverick" over and over. Made it all the more sweet when Biden totally shredded the notion that McCain is a maverick.

yea. I also appreciated how he subtly shredded the soccer mom thing with "But the notion that somehow, because I'm a man, I don't know what it's like to raise two kids alone, I don't know what it's like to have a child you're not sure is going to -- is going to make it -- I understand."
wow! what a moment.

and, you know, I'm not sure if "maverick" is on the list of desirable attributes for a president.

My favorite was 'Bosniaks.' (Biden said that.) Duh. At least she has done something with her life, unlike others.

please add 'heckuva' and 'darn right'. For those of you born YESTERDAY and not coherent 30 years ago when Biden started running for Congress, He is definitely same-ol, same-ol, what Obama was going to deliver us from! Poor Sper.. getting the math problem wrong, just makes me laugh to think about how tied up she'd get. I hope she didn't get any migraines thinking about that math problem. Mr. B. was right, Math is psycho.....psycho....PSYCHOSOMATIC! do I just push the 'preview' button??

Yay! I got the math problem right! What clued me in was the example! No trick questions here! Nope, not nothing to get that big word about! Let's see, what could we say instead of big word... all tied up? I'm sorry , I've over worked it. I have read to much today. Time for fresh air and sunshine, or whatever. I feel like Ellis when he has pushed too many buttons, literally and figuratively. Smile. Not a command- a figurative.

How 'bout Joe Six-Pack?

Or from Biden, "quote, I'm paraphrasing here..."

SNL debate was really fun, especially because I am not sure they had to write a script, I think they just read the transcript from the debate....

sad...but funny at the same time :)

LOL! I really ought to watch SNL instead of the debate.

I think you should've asked for Joe Six-Pack in the giveaway section. (kidding, Jer!)

Did you see Tina Faye on SNL this past week, she did an awesome Sarah Palin. I thought I was going to pee myself laughing!! Of course being 7 months pregnant helps in that dept too :S.
