Top 5 reasons I'm glad I didn't watch the Obomney debate

1. Princess Bride alert - I think that word does not mean what you think it means: I have a friend who was on debate teams in high school and college. He won awards, teaches debate technique to kids now - he's serious about the art of debate, and has been for over a decade. Having caught some of last night's festivities, he declared, 'I feel dumber now than I was an hour ago, just from watching that.' And: 'My students would eat these guys alive.' And: 'If that's a debate, then I spent 13 years learning something very different.'
