Quotes

  • [Al to Mrs. De Groot] So you think I'm a loser? Just because I have a stinking job that I hate, a family that doesn't respect me, a whole city that curses the day I was born? Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me tell you something. Every morning when I wake up, I know it's not going to get any better until I go back to sleep again. So I get up, have my watered down Tang and still-frozen Pop Tart, get in my car with no upholstery, no gas and six more payments to fight traffic just for the privilege of putting cheap shoes on the cloven hooves of people like you. I'll never play football like I thought I would, I'll never know the touch of a beautiful woman, and I'll never again know the joy of driving without a bag on my head. But I'm not a loser. 'Cause despite it all, me and every other guy who'll never be what he wanted to be, are still out there, being what we don't wanna be, forty hours a week, for life. And the fact that I haven't put a gun to my mouth, you pudding of a woman, makes me a winner!

Uncommon Thought Journal: "Debate" Could Have Been Worse (934 words)
Personally, I thought that Bush was repetitious and made a few responses that I couldn't figure out how he got there, and I felt that on the whole Kerry made some good points, I doubt that few who were "undecided" became so on the basis of last night's showing.
Interestingly, I thought that the one point where Bush made his best showing was in the difference in opinion over whether bilateral talks with North Korea or the involvement of China, Japan, Russia, etc. offered the most leverage.
Basically I thought the debates were lackluster, Bush seemed irrated that he even had to be there, buttter wouldn't have melted in Kerry's mouth.
