So, drop what you're doing and listen!
And blog it here!
Actually, this is the first airing of this debate, since the Obama-McCain debate was being carried live that night, so it's a "rebroadcast" to those in attendance, but it's all new to you, DELAYED by a couple days. Ah the wonders of technology!
LIVE BLOGGING A TAPE DELAYED REBROADCAST RIGHT HERE!

Had to install another software and missed maybe the first 3 minutes.
Now, where can I upload it........
;)
I know, I'm hopeless......even stayed home from work to get this in case the vid never materializes.
It made my blood boil and I'm glad I didn't go as I would have been in cuffs before it was over........
I'm glad you were able to capture most of it, 'cause I missed the first 35 minutes!!! I kept hitting the wrong button....I called my son (compuer expert) and he finally had me hit the "Windows player", when I was using the "Real Playe"....I did a run-through last night except that part.
So, I'll really be waiting for your replay and/or the vid. I don't use that part of the computer very much, so I'm a real "dummy" when it goes past "click here".... I got the jist of the debate anyway, but I got up about an hour earlier just to listen...now I'll have to have an extra nap!
We have a friend who's dying to hear this!
Moon is correct, it was the bounciest sound around. Everything bounced off the hard surfaces and created this booming echo-- kind of creepy, when Karl was in bellow mode.
GOP opinion less government in all agencies. GOP logic we need no government at all. The market will regulate it. So America has a 19 century health care system, still stuck in a lot of paperwork but we livin in a digital world. I don´t understand why America needs GOP, if they want to outsourced every service to profit corporate companies, they don´t served us. This is capital cannibalism, our health care system is infused with cancer. GOP has lost their values bailout companies but no penny for an american child. That´s a disgrace. I read an science article that the body height of an American has shortened in the last decades whereas the body height of the Dutch has lengthened, although they smoke weed. What has John McCain said in the debate South Koreans are taller than North Koreans. Well, John McCain you forget us. America will be getting a nation of midgets, because our kids have no access to decent health care. GOP, you make me sick.
...wonder if it has something to do with the extra 50 lbs the kids are packing today with their diet of soda and fries? Seems like the weight could potentially serve as a height capping mechanism
Of course, I'm wondering if the 'science' article is really comparing the height patterns of the same ethnicities in American culture in order to do apples-to-apples comparies...if they're just lumping everyone togther, then that study would have an obvious flaw.
There are a number of things I like about McCain, but his health plan is just nuts. Let's take a look at someone who has a job with a large company (or working for the government as far as that goes).
A yearly health premium for a family of 4 is currently around $12,000 and the company pays around 80% of that. So let's say you have a health benefit of $10,000 that McCain now wants to tax (and give a $5,000 credit to purchase insurance). $10,000 x 0.33 tax rate = $3,300 additional tax. So, you're left with an extra $1,700 from that credit and now need to purchase health insurance with that. Doesn't sound like much of a deal to me.
Not that the Democratic plan of "let's give the Congressional plan" to everyone is any better...fine, but the premiums on the Congressional plan are around $11,000 the last time I checked - who exactly is paying for this?
I heard the last 50 minutes of the Clark/Rove debate on the radio this morning and will have to check out some of the points tossed out re: healthcare.
Latinos are shorter than Europeans, but countries with a bad health care system like England etc., their kids have more diseases and the Englishman has shortened in the last decades, too.
I like the comparison of North Korea and South Korea John McCain mentioned in the presidential debate. He said North Koreans are few inches shorter than South Koreans. Here you have apples and apples. North Korea has a disastrous health care system, famine no soda and fries there, a lot of american families don´t have money for arugula so they stick to coke and fries. If you don´t have a balance nutrition, don´t have a decent health care consequences are stop of growth and shorter longevity.
"a lot of american families don´t have money for arugula so they stick to coke and fries"
What's wrong with water? And potatoes are pretty cheap - you can slice them yourself and stick them in the oven without the lard. If someone can afford to waste money on fries, cokes and Big Macs, then they can afford nutritionally sound food.
Like Wes says, it's about accountability. Eating decent food is a choice every American can make and it doesn't take government intervention to do so. If we want an affordable health care system, we can start there.
America has to educate the people again for food culture. You find in every corner Wendy, Mac, Burger King, Tacos etc. in supersizes. Even in families who are not poor they like this fast food. People are lazy to prepare a good healthy meal. It takes to much time, but that is not true.
I was listening to a radio program recently where they said the diet of the average American is only up by something like 400-500 calories perday and doesn't explain the increase in average weight and obesity in our country. Instead, they said it's primarily the sharply reduced levels of exercise. Sorry, I can't remember what the program was now, but it only partially made sense to me, because they didn't say much about the quality of the calories, so I think the junk food plus the lower exercise levels, plus all the dern stress has become a perfect storm of health problems and the need (or perceived need) for meds.
Proud to be an American.
Yep, exercise has a lot to do with it.
I remember my great-grandfather and grandfather eating bacon/eggs/etc...about every day of their lives and wondering how they stayed in near perfect health well into their 80s.
Must have had something to do with them actually working hard on their apple/fruit farm for 12 hours a day or so.
I hope this will changed. A small step is done today. Wes Clark campaign for Obama in Florida. Do you know if Joe Biden and Wes Clark have a good relationship ? During the Balcan´s conflict they work together. Biden on the diplomacy side and Clark on the military side. I think Biden is the key if we gonna have a new democratic cabinet.
in what kind of direction it will go ? I think Biden has influence. He will give Obama some advices for the cabinet. Biden knows the democrats in - and outside. But I have to say Iam not an oracle if Biden favor Clark for a position.

I love The Internets because so much information is at our fingertips that in a previous life we spent years digging through libraries for. And it has brought us into contact and facilitated relationships with people we would never have otherwise known.
But it does encourage sedentary behavior. Maybe it's time for the computer equivalent of the Walkman. Blog while you jog. :)

The www world keeps me plugged in, keeps me writing, and maintains my family -- all of you. Some mornings at 7:00 a.m. I think that I can sleep another hour or so, but no...I have to connect.

Wes Clark -- Make America All It Can Be!

I thought you looked a little pale, heh. ;)
Thanks- the sound in the room was pretty awful. The crowd became very fractious (am blogging details & my perspective because it was hardly equally split!!!!), but also the actual sound system itself was truly awful, what I just heard was far superior in quality to the live event. I didn't even try to take notes.
I'm glad, the clarity is much improved without the wild swings in volume & the impression the remarks were for unknown reasons first being pumped through a submarine before being played!
Thanks- working on my blog now...

listen to the finest radioprogramm.
Queen - Radio Ga Ga
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds -- invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh -- you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
We watch the shows -- we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio -- Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
Loves you
