Pfft. You children.

I remember 19.99 cents. And it didn't change much for many many years.

So what was the Civil War like?

(please forgive me)

I am impressed with both candidates. It is amusing watching them step all over Jim Lehrer.

Although after Romney said he would cut PBS funding, I am surprised Lehrer is being so neutral.

I think we all can agree that Jim Lehrer has the most unenviable job in America tonight.

It certainly seems personal between these two. My wife walked in the room and gave me mock yawn after seeing what I was watching.

I told her this was more exciting than the Niner game I saw on Sunday, and to be happy I am not screaming at the TV, as what typically happens

Perhaps, but I envy his ability to ask these guys follow up questions off the cuff and thus somewhat challenge one of their statements.

Just a minute. I'll ask my son.

Me too. It'll be interesting to see if Lehrer ever gets the usual control back.

Lehrer: Your 2 minutes is up.
President: I had 5 seconds before you interupted me.
President: (talks about his Obamacare plan, for 30 seconds more.)
Lehrer: your 5 seconds was up long ago.

Poor Jim.

Just give these two boxing gloves, and let the citizens vote with round by round scorecards.

They so hate each other.

That would at least be worthwhile viewing. Although it might look like "The Big Bang Theory".

It was a decent debate, I would say both sides did well, but Romney clearly had the larger US flag lapel pin...

Well, fatigue caught up with me, so I hit the sack before the debate, but I stuck Radio Four on which was covering the World Service (It switches over at 1am BST) and they were airing the debate, and from what I heard Romney was definitely very much in his stride, but having been doing debates frequently in the run up to this debate he's had experience, but Obama is out of debating shape, he needs to shape up a bit before the next one.

I couldn't tell what the thingy on the flag pin was. It seemed like there was another emblem over the stripes.
