Live from St. Louis, it's the debate!

We stayed away from the Washington University area Thursday, where some streets were closed for the debate between Joe Biden and Tina Fey (or whoever). But we did watch the debate in a public setting, the Contemporary Art Museum, a block from the restored Fox Theatre. And I don't mean Pomona's.

The museum set up chairs and a big screen to air CNN's broadcast of the debate that took place (tingle!) a few miles away. In St. Louis it started at 8 p.m. Nearly 100 of us watched. It was a very pro-Biden crowd. Watching the debate with a group was much more fun that watching at home. There were plenty of groans, laughter and catcalls.

Everybody loved it when Marge Gunderson (or whoever) said it was time for John McCain "to leave. Er, to lead." Although there were snickers when Biden kept repeating what sounded like "Bushis": "How is McCain's policy on the economy different from Bushis? How is McCain's policy on Iraq different from Bushis?," etc., etc.

We eagerly await the SNL version.

Reporting nearly live from St. Louis, this is Bushis, Bushis, Bushis. Doggone it.
