Just watched the debate…

I just finished watching the Joe Biden vs. Sarah Palin vice presidential debate, and I have to say, I was not too impressed with Sarah Palin. Actually I wasn’t impressed at all. It seemed that Joe Biden had solid points to make. He had an abundance of KNOWLEGE about policies, as well as knowlege of John McCain’s voting history. He was able to make specific points using and had numbers and percentages on his fingertips which he could use to bolster those points.

On the other hand, it seems Sarah Palin, as pretty as she looked tonight, STILL didn’t have too many solid points. She made some (against Obama), so let me not act like she was incoherent or anything. BUT, she still relied on a lot of tactics like emotions and trying to ‘connect’ back to the people by describing the same kind of scenarios that Hillary Clinton is so good at. At some point, Sarah Palin actually said “…the hockey moms and Joe six-pack”. Come on! Joe six-pack??? Who the hell is that? She also had the same kind of attitude she had during some backstage Katie Couric interview…you know, very sarcastic. I do not like her sarcasm.

During the debate, the MAIN topic was John McCain. Seriously. Within the first three minutes of the debate, it was funny to hear Joe Biden make a say John McCain was out of touch. Damn, it seems anybody who has a mouth keeps saying McCain is out of touch, it even seems funny. I think it’s just taking a shot at how old he is. He really isn’t THAT old. He’s 72. There are several senators who are older than him…so let’s give him credit for that. During the debate, Biden seemed to have a very comprehensive knowlege of foreign policy, and an even better knowlege of McCain’s voting history, so it seemed that regardless of the questions that the lady presiding over the debate(I wish I knew her name)…the name ‘John McCain’ kept coming up. If it was Biden saying that name, then it was about his voting history in the senate, and how he had sided with President Bush on most issues, and if it was Palin saying the name, it was about how great his values were, and how great a leader he is and will be.

If you ask me, I’d say Biden clearly won the debate, as it seems Palin didn’t have much knowlege to tear down his points, or make strong points against him and Obama.

In other news, I was on the phone with one of my friends today…a good friend of mine who’s currently studying for his PhD in physics at a very respectable university. He told me he’s now addicted to the strip club. He told me about a certain stripper he’s convinced he’s in love with. He said that it seems that as you put down a vice, you pick up another. In his case, he stopped smoking pot and now goes to the strip club. I admired the fact that he just quit smoking pot totally…I’m still working on that. He said that the stripper he likes(actually, he said he loves her) gives crazy lap dances, and that in the room where she gives lap dances(i think it’s somehting like $50 or $60 for 5 minutes), he said it’s almost like sex with her. 5 minutes of fantasy. I don’t criticize it in any way, because I’d definitely say just because you like a stripper doesn’t mean you don’t respect her. And…the world is full of men who really just would like to cut out the prelimiary games and wooing, and get some action. That doesn’t mean the men just want women for sex either. It just means that they don’t have all the patience to go through the wooing. Funny enough I’ve never been to a strip club, but when I go visit him…I’ll definitely bring my stash of one dollar bills along. You know…

I told him to go ahead and make some conversation with her, and get to know her as a person – but by no means should he prevent her from fulfiling her proffesional duties though. Cause, regardless of whether she might see my friend is a customer who likes lap dances from her, everybody is looking for somebody who really likes them for who they are. Flaws included.

What do you think of strip clubs and the guys who go there?
