Adam Gessaman has a lovely quote up on his blog but if you missed the debate on Friday, then you might want go to the New York Times. As they’ve got a transcript as well as an article doing fact check on the issued that were covered. They also have a video of the debate. Note: The video requires you to have Macromedia’s Flash Player version 6.0 or higher installed. I don’t have that installed currently so I don’t know if there are any other requirements to view this but I’ll wager it shouldn’t be attempted over dial-up.

My study group all made it to Japan safe & sound. We did nearly lose some people along various stages of the way here, but in the end we arrived with our lives and health in tact. I don’t know these people well enough to say whether or not their sanity is in tact after the trip or if they’re always this crazy.
As this was the first time in my memory that I’ve flown; I think I should make a note of the following:
- Flying is not as bad an experience as I had been fearing it might be.
- Puddle-jumper planes suck for people over 5 foot 8 inches, due to low ceilings and no headroom when going down the aisle.
- International flights are too damn long and my ears are still somewhat numb from the constant roar of the engines.
- Turbulance sucks! Particularly when you’re watching the wing bounce.
- Landings are not evil, but only because that means you can get off the plane soon.
