SHIT! I just figured out that my friend's birthday celebration is Oct. 15!!

Her husband has invited us to dinner to celebrate her birthday. She has cancer...I wonder if I can cancel to watch the debate? Probably not and look like a decent human being. I wonder if I could claim a migraine at 8:30??? A migraine would work, right?

1. Why not tape the debate

or watch it on C-SPAN later in the evening where it will be broadcast continually.

2. My wedding anniversary is on the 15th...

Can't wait to spend it watching McLame crying.

How romantic!

4. Your wife sounds like a lucky lady...

5. See, that's what I always tell her!

She doesn't seem to agree. Maybe I'm just not saying it enough.

:P

3. ask if they're watching the debate

6. Tape the debate or watch one of the reruns of it

A friend with cancer should take priority over the debate or at least it would for me.

7. Watch the debate later.

Family and friends before politics is a good general rule, IMHO.

8. DVR or Tape it.. or watch it 2 hours later on CNN, MSNBC or gasp.. Fox

When you get home. All 3 will replay it that night.

Or just say screw it.. come on here and watch You-Tube clips of the best parts... and check the polls to see how well or bad both of them did.

But, have a nice evening with your friend.. politics will be around forever.. your friend with cancer might not be.

9. Make them watch it!!!

Just kidding.

10. ....pssst...I was kidding. We'll tape it. n/t
