Time to go live

Well, Eunice announced the web site to her friends and family, so I suppose it's time to announce it to my friends too. I'd best be updating this regularly or there will be... trouble :).

Eunice and I caught part of the presidential debate on TV last night. I have to say first that we're both very biased. We're voting for Kerry, no question about it. Actually, we were going to vote for Dean, based solely on the "Dean Scream." I mean, we want somebody with that kind of enthusiasm representing us. Sadly, most of America didn't agree.

So anyway, we're voting for Kerry. We both thought Kerry won the debate last night hands down. It looked like Kerry was in his element. He was relaxed. He had done his research. It looked like he faltered once, trying to think of various medical conditions that could be cured by stem cell research. I thought he even gave the right answer on abortion. He's against it personally, but he doesn't think he should legislate his own religious beliefs.

Bush on the other hand looked like he was mad. All the time. The angrier he got the more he blinked. It was pretty funny. A few times he didn't wait for the moderator to tell him to go. Once he didn't let the moderator ask him a question, he just charged ahead with his rebuttal. Bush didn't come off looking good.

The one thing I really wanted was someone to ask a question about same sex marriage. Sadly, it didn't happen. Perhaps in the next debate.

Well, I was going to play devil's advocate here, but part way through typing I felt as though I needed to be shot for my own comments. Anyway, without permission, I'd like to quote my brother Jim:

I once had a dream that there was a flood. I looked and saw Bush clinging to a log trying desperately to stay alive. I also had a camera. Now I new, I could either take a pulitzer prize winning photo, or save the leader of the free world. I was faced with one of the most difficult choices in my life! Color or black and white?
