That Cicero comment just makes me want to watch my Rome DVDs. Speaking of, I believe Mr Poniewozik still owes us a review.

James Poniewozik combines the wit of Dorothy Parker, and the nuanced understanding of pathos that greek drama in character studies such as Oedipus Rex examined in an infantile form, until Mr. Poniewozik came along to complete the blosssoming concept and leave all further observations redundant and irrelevant.

" voted for McCain in the Republican primary in New York in 2000, but I don't pretend that makes me neutral now."

I was really considering the McCain/Powell ticket. Of course, it didn't happen, and I voted for blam! blam! blam!

Thump...

"Karen is a dogged reporter and a compendium of political knowledge. I am a guy who gets paid to yell at the TV and type down some of my comments in the process."

Good lord! Now even the debate live-bloggers are trying to manage expectations.

I suppose that post-debate will sound something like: "By not being reduced to tears by KT's superior political knowledge, James clearly scored a win".

the Web advertisement as posted by the Washington Post in which it claims “McCain Wins Debate,” with him in the foreground and an American flag in the background.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said the ad posting was a mistake by the Wall Street Journal. Oops.
