Tonight's debate

Don't forget to watch the Vice Presidential Debate tonight -- and eschew the talking heads' immediate spinning.

In preparation, you ought to read today's column by Krugman, The Falling Scales

[Update: a commenter asks if it is okay to listen to talking heads before the debate. I recommend you READ any informed commentary about the issues. As for listening, I listened to NPR (820 am) on the way home from class before the last debate and thought their discussion was insightful and even helpful. Maybe try that tonight.]

So it's ok to listen to talking heads before the debate but not after?

This debate doesn't matter. Bush will win the election. One reason: too many stupid rednecks will think he's more fun to have a beer with. I am still awaiting however YOU'RE respone to the last debate.
