spending the night with the GOP

Whelp, I did it. You'll be proud, faithful readers. I sat through 20 minutes of last night's GOP debate, and no barfing. I think the party should nominate Herman Cain - the man dressed better, talked better, and he used to run Godfather's Pizza, after all.

It was interesting to watch the crowd respond to some of the baseless crap the candidates were spewing. I can't remember who starting bitching about Obamacare and how its unconstitutional. A white guy, I think. Anyway, his comments were met with furious applause. Please. Health care is commerce. Congress has the right to regulate commerce. And it can do so by whatever means it feels is necessary. How is that unconstitutional? Heck, even a conservative law professor who was solicitor general under Reagan thinks its constitutional.

At some point Michele Bachmann started pontificating and J pointed out how she looked like one of the animated characters from that cartoon Team America, at which point I started laughing and needed to pee. That proved an opportune time to switch channels and watch something more interesting, like an Iron Chef episode we'd already seen 20 times.

Let's see how this mudslinging love fest unfolds.
