I didn't do a play-by-play of the debate last night because Eileen is here and we switched back and forth between it and the Cardinals game (MLB, in its infinite wisdom, scheduled the Red Sox at the same time so I didn't get to watch. Which in the end was probably best for everyone involved). I did manage to catch Bush's "solution" to outsoucring though, which was to dodge the question and blame American workers' lack of education as the reason jobs are getting outsourced.

I didn't have much time to browse the news sites today, but people must be making a big deal about this right? I mean, the outsourcing has nothing to do with economics and having to pay foreign workers lower wages. No, when a US programmer's job gets lost to India, the answer is to send that programmer, who most likely already went through at least 4 years of college, to community college. As those awful commercials say, brilliant!

And if a factory worker loses his job because we move our factory overseas, we should send all those factory workers to ITT Tech so they can learn how to program. Then they can subsequently lose their jobs to overseas programmers.

About the only thing Bush has shown me he can do in these 3 elections is pound on his podium, make funny faces, and repeat simple phrases like "wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time" over and over again. But then again, so can a parrot.

And apparently my Teddy Ruxpin joke about someone needing to change Bush's tape apparently wasn't far from the truth. Poor G-Dub, all of the internets are against him.
