What Don't You Know and How Will You Learn It?

I don't know Spanish and I will learn it by taking Spanish classes.

I don't know what tomorrow will bring and I can only learn it by being present tomorrow.

I also don't know why anyone wants to be president and I don't imagine I'll ever learn why they do.

I do know that there's no direct question that any politician will ever answer directly because then they're forced to take a position with which some people will disagree. I can live with that (as though I had a choice)—as long as they don't lie to me.

I also know that the last question in tonight's debate, while possessing a simple elegance and pleasing symmetry, is kinda dumb.

Palin Bingo

A clever little game to make tonight's debate fun and exciting for the whole family. If you don't see this post before the debate (and why the heck didn't you?), you can play it over and over again by using the video archive of the fiasco on CNN.com.

The Interlude wishes to state categorically that this game should not—repeat: NOT—be played by substituting alcohol for bingo tokens. The risk of alcohol poisoning is just far too great. Jeez, "maverick" alone could put you in the hospital for a week!
