me: is there some sort of GOP debate going on tonight?? Caleb: You missed it, son?! Caleb: http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2011/08/live-blogging-the-second-gop-debate.html me: how is there going to be a GOP debate I don't know about? Caleb: I actually only caught the closing arguments section. Caleb: In which each of the 27 candidates was given 15 seconds to sum up their bull. Caleb: I'm sorry to tell you that your boy Ron Paul acquitted himself rather awkwardly. me: OH SHIT Caleb: Sorta came off as a meek, mawkish obstetrician from the Gulf Coast. me: was Palin not in it? Caleb: Nah, fool. Caleb: Nor was Perry. me: and I guess Perry waited until day of debate to announce? Caleb: Well. me: so, Palin hasn't announced yet? Caleb: He unofficially announced Monday. Caleb: Then again, unofficially, today. Caleb: And then one more pre-planned unofficial announcement on Saturday. Caleb: All in preparation for the actual official announcement. Caleb: Which will probably be drawn out over two or three days next week. Caleb: And, no, Palin ain't announced yet. Caleb: Though I am pleased to break the good news to you that there's talk that Perry's move and Palin's paralysis has apparently prompted your buddy Rudy Giuilliani to start mobilizing his campaign efforts. me: what? me: are you serious? Caleb: According to various polls, he's the only Republican who beats Obama right now. me: what the fuck? Caleb: I probably read it on Politico, so take it with a handful of salt. Caleb: But enjoy the fantasy. me: Newt Gingrich debated, lol me: he's a shoe-in me: did he talk about global warming? Caleb: I believe he mentioned something about how the debt ceiling is a Nazi and the present debate was easily the most undignified shame in American politics since Baldwin signed over the Sudetenland to the Soviets back in 1963. me: I wish Ford was there Caleb: He was. Caleb: In spirit. Caleb: And also in the Mormon form of John Huntsman. Caleb: 'Cause they're both sorta moderates. Caleb: See? Caleb: Also, Herman Cain. Caleb: Oh, god. Caleb: And Santorum. Caleb: And Pawlenty. Caleb: And the whole lot of them. Caleb: You really missed out on some good television tonight. me: well, sir me: that's what YouTube's for Caleb: I'VE READ ABOUT THAT IN THE TIMES MAGAZINE me: which reminds me me: http://www.theonion.com/video/time-announces-new-version-of-magazine-aimed-at-ad,17950/ me: I enjoy this quite a bit, this amusing video here Caleb: Is nothing sacred anymore? me: christ, the London riots are still going on Caleb: Yes, yes. Caleb: Something to do with chavs. Caleb: I don't care. me: well, they may be sending in the army soon Caleb: Oh. Caleb: You should probably already know this. Caleb: Cameron is making preliminary moves to suppress social network activity. Caleb: You knew that right, Dr. Anonymousforeveralone? me: I do know, although I've actually gotten sick of all this shit and have done my best to ignore everything about it Caleb: Chavs. me: I think it's mostly blacks me: whereas I thought chavs were crackers Caleb: You know more about it than I do. Caleb: I really don't care. Caleb: #rickperry me: stop that Caleb: #minoritiesfightingoutsidemyapartment Caleb: #brb me: srsly? Caleb: Nope. Caleb: Turned out to be a white guy. Caleb: Upset with his lady friend. Caleb: Wearing a white hat. Caleb: And screaming on his cell phone for her to come out and talk to him. Caleb: My assumptions were up-ended.

Caleb: #funnylede me: "The last thing he'd want to do is politicize 9/11, which has a lot to do with why he's not a candidate right now," Semprini said. Caleb: He'd do well to politicize 9/12. Caleb: Do _you_ remember? Caleb: Also, 9/11 has a lot to do with he's not a candidate right now. Caleb: Fred Thompson, too. me: I think he should make a point of how he told off that faggot with the thing for ferrets Caleb: Que? me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxLP6ni8vVo Caleb: He's incher closer to my vote. Caleb: What's his policy on feral coyotes? Caleb: I really like the song at the end. Caleb: Once could even say I <3 it. Caleb: *One could Caleb: Ah, hell.
