Well, my greatest relief from last night's debate is that, regardless of which candidate people perceived as winning the debate, ABC took loser of the night. Did they think that Stephanopoulos was the best man for the job as their most prominent journalist, or because his biases against both sides would cancel each other out? I honestly like the guy, but the man who owes his career to the Clinton administration, though strongly clashing with Hillary Clinton, probably was not the wisest pick. On top of all that, his questions shat the bed, if you excuse the borrowed phrase. He claims he asked about important issues that haven't been discussed in the debates before. The truth of the second part of that statement is due to the falsehood of the first: the questions had little play in previous debates because they are so incredibly unimportant to the American people, their lives, and their government.

I confess I wasn't able to see all of the debates, but felt fortunate that tonight I was able to view all of the Colbert Report. It was a better showing anyway.

Now enough rants. I'm too tired to even complain eloquently. Here's my amusing teacher tidbit for the night.
Mikhail (student): (Appearing in my office door, looking past me to the math teacher) Can I talk to him?
Me: Yeah, is this a guy thing? I can leave...
Mikhail: Oh no, it's a math thing.
Math Teacher: Well if you're asking if I think Ms. McC will marry you, I don't think so.
Mikhail: Oh, I know she won't. She's older than me and way out of my league.
Me: Automatic A.

Maybe I spoke too soon about my ability to conceal my dorkiness. (Insert glasses finger nudge here.)
