Ask Politely #36
After all the hoopla, who do you think won the debate?
Did you take a drink everytime Sen. Biden said the word “fact”?
Did you take a drink everytime Gov. Palin said the word “maverick” or winked?
Do you think it will matter in the end?

Doggonit, we sure did!

Who do I think won the debate?
America, that’s who.
America Maverick Palin? I hear that’s what Bristol is going to name that bun in her oven.

I was disappointed with both.
I kept expecting Biden to finish her off with, “it’s the economy, stupid”...but instead (and maybe this was Gwen’s fault) he kept returning to foreign policy.
On the other hand, if Palin showed up and spoke in intelligible grunts and gestures it would have exceeded public expectations…so part of me believed she would overcompensate with an intellectualized diatribe: all her winks and doggoneits brought me back.

Unless the left starts to approach the subject that gets the midwest to vote it may be four more years.
The All Kids health insurance program includes coverage for a pregnant woman and her child, but to make sure this information cannot be used to state the lefts approach to eliminating abortion, it states that one does not have to be a US citizen.
The RU-486 pill that will end an a life is not the same as emergency contraception, however even Planned Parenthood can’t be bothered to read right wing websites and point this difference out on theirs. Instead they insist that a minor has the same rights as an adult, a separate issue. I wonder if someone who had to sell their home to pay for a delivery sued them because the 15 year old said the only reason she started having sex was because they gave her a perscription, maybe they would understand accountibility.
When is the left going to approach this subject, at a time of Ms. Palin’s choosing, during the next debate?

Biden obviously won the debate. Palin couldn’t even answer the questions asked… relying solely on memorized talking points.
I think the SNL skit pretty much nailed it.

Okay, almost 24 hours later and I finally got Issac’s Summer joke. I’m an idiot.
Swap the dog for a fire pit and it sounds like you’re writing about my back yard. Very nice.
funny, as your summer begins, another Summer ends.
And that, my friend, is love. Bob, I think I still owe you for my wedding cake, served in 1998. But nevermind.
I believe the kiss between Rob and I was documented on low-quality videotape in the mid-ninties porn classic, Dirty Harry…and Sticky.
“Do I have to sign some forms, or am I just considered ‘in.’” You’re in!
Got damn, Coulter. You are the greatest.
I have no specific memory of it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d kissed Mike, too—once we’d both drunk ourselves gay. And earlier this week I gave Clarence Shelley a back rub. Do I have to sign some forms, or am I just considered “in.”
FWIW, I got a copy of the letter in question. It was written in a way that would be plausible to a casual reader who didn’t scrutinize it too carefully. It announced the formation of an organization called G.L.A.B.A. (which actually exists), and had discussion about typical…

Oh nice! I’d totally vote for Matt Campbell!
“Smile Politely sports writer announces candidacy for city government.”
I also got to visit Big Grove Tavern during the soft open and definitely enjoyed the pork belly the most of all the dishes I sampled. The cheesy grits and the vinegary pickled vegetables were a perfect compliment to the rich pork belly.
The Alan Partridge lookalike on the right in the first small photo has nothing to condescend to anyone about. AH HA!
Snell and the little Hitlers of the neighborhood association need to chill out. Legitimate businesses should have the freedom to exist without having to endure the slings and arrows of ignorant and misguided opposition.
represent, Matt.
Yeah, I’d agree that Transporter Room 3 is the worst house venue I’ve ever seen.
Food trucks are the start-up, small businesses of the future for those unable to afford real estate. No surprise, that merchants who pay rent, utilities, and maintenance on a property would despise the traveling competition. Or developers who build more empty retail spaces would want to close…
Not so much far-right Tea Party as a balanced, moderate viewpoint between letting businesses succeed and protecting society with reasonable regulations. In spite of what the city reps are saying, the interpretation of policy on this issue certainly has changed. Letting a business start up under one…
I think it’s neat that SP has turned rightward, now espousing a Tea Party-style frustration with government regulations & taxes.
This makes me so sad. (Happy to live in Urbana, though!) Crave Truck has been a GREAT addition to the food choices in C-U, and it’d be a travesty to chase them away. This town should be supporting small businesses. I’m glad to hear that they’ll still…
*slow. clap.* Still offering no threat of intelligence…. I know I said I thought you should just write this whole column yourself next year, Isaac, but now that you’ve gone and taken a “part deux” run at it, I’d like to modify my request: Best Music 2013,…
Actually, it’s kind of nice, the quiet. John Heoffleur’s engaging commentary/dialogue is sorely missed, however. In lieu of someone intelligent saying something, I’ve compiled a list of Honourable Mentions: BEST ROCK BAND: Take Care ::these gentlemen have four completely different sets at their disposal right now (which…
What? Echo! (Echo!) Where’s the dischord and dissent?

And without bloodshed. Sounds like the Savoy trustees aren’t as narrow-minded as some of their whiny pants constituents. Do you think quack Snell is already planning an asinine counterattack or is he still laying low after those “threats” against his person?
hey, if hair ain’t gon’ be over your head, my jokes may as well be.

Excellent. I am glad sometimes American dreams are encouraged, rather than stifled.
