I know, I know….it’s been way too long since I last posted. The truth is, I’ve been pretty distracted the past week. For those of you who are in the habit of prayer and can make room on your request list, I would ask that you pray for Katy and I. This week will most likely be a “defining moment” for us and we will need some patience and discernment.
So, besides that, what shall I write about? How disappointed I was in the movie The Forgotten, or how happy I am that the Cowboys won last night, or my concern with the news that Conan O’Brian will take the helm of the Tonight Show in 2009? Those are all fine and good, but what is really yanking my chain is the fact that Thursday’s Presidential Debates will not be debates at all, according to the new rules etched out by the Bush and Kerry folks. For those of you who don’t know (or care), Bush and Kerry will not be allowed to actually address each other during the debate. They may only address the moderator. Now some of you may think that is a plus for Bush, since Kerry is probably the better debater. But at the risk of that truth being revealed, wouldn’t it be more interesting and dynamic to let them go at each other a bit? I think Kerry would be the one who should worry in that scenario because he isn’teven comfortable with his own politics. Another rule of note, that I can’t believe the Kerry guys agreed to is the fact that the timing lights will be visible to the viewer. This is suicide for Kerry due to the fact that he has never shown any sign of being familiar with the practice of brevity. So we will see what it will be like with these “Lincoln-Douglas Rules”, as Katy has informed me, and hopefully Bush will do well and Kerry will sweat bullets.
