And, lest we forget, Exigent is a biblical conflation of Exodus and Genesis, not necessarily in that order. Although Biden favors the 4-letter one, the Book of Job.

Last night's game was odd for me - as both a Houston fan and a Green Bay fan, I was hoping Houston would continue undefeated, but was happy to see Green Bay back on their game! So it was still a win for me.

And Tech played very nicely this weekend as well so that was a bonus.

I thought that was Gen-Ex.

On debates in general: There are people that just can't help themselves, they open their mouth like it's involuntary and things just come out, like opening the door to Fibber McGee's closet.

My friend has a front tooth broken off. He and his wife are going to buy a bottle of wine, wedding anniversary coming up you see, and the clerk asks if he wants the wine in a bag.
No, says Stupid, She's had enough already.

Very funny but he looks funny too with a broken front tooth and the orthodontist’s bill should be hilarious.

Some people are like that. Their mouth is not a faucet that can be turned on and off but a pipe bursting and making a mess. They are what duct tape was invented for.

Just a couple of thoughts here.

So the Packers are your favorite team to get beaten by?

That is odd. I hate all Steeler losses.

Some of us have the capacity to love more than one team, and I can cheer for many teams when they beat a team I dislike intently.....

I was rooting for the Cowboys yesterday, so I know all about that. But there is no way to be happy about a loss for my one true love.

So instead of sports, I'm thinking about tomorrow's debate and I sincerely hope Romney has an opportunity to address this exigent issue. Especially since this is where we get the majority of our energy.

Obama’s treatment of “old” energy, particularly coal and oil, has not been given enough attention. It would be easier for him to explain his post-Benghazi lies than to explain why the Keystone Pipeline is still a pipedream.

Ok I need to figure out what time the debate will be on and if I can get it streaming here. It’s 6 hrs later here so debate is when? We will be in Rome tomorrow evening.

9 PM + 6 hours = 15 o’clock, minus the 12 is 3 AM.

When I received your “words with friends” play at 1:30am this morning, I knew it was coffee time for you!
