He's black but he doesn't hate white people! His appearance challenges their preconceptions.

Like Sinfanti I'm uncomfortable with either political candidate appealing to religious fanatics. Can't we just ignore them? They only clips I saw on the news were about abortion.

As for the show, I only saw a few clips (not sure I'd be able to stomach more). It seemed like McCain was pandering to folks who have t-shirts from the Creationism Museum. Obama's responses seemed more nuanced and better reflected the idea that we're a country of diverse ideas (with lots of folk just being just f'ing crazy). What I want to see next (and I would be sure to watch in its entirety) would be the same event held in a prominent American mosque.

Now I'll have to tell you my 12-year-old's favorite rejoinder to just about everything these days, which is "... and THAT'S why cats should run the government." Should I tell her she's been scooped? Ooh ooh! Now I’ll have to tell you my 12-year-old’s favorite rejoinder to just about everything these days, which is

“… and THAT’S why cats should run the government.”

Should I tell her she’s been scooped?
