Jon rocks.

This Thursday, I will be abusing my liver while watching the presidential debates. In one of his most recent posts, Jon talks about these "Glorified Bipartisan News Conferences", and links to this site that describes many of the ways in which debates have changed in order to maximize the use of scripted soundbites. Of most interest to me is the fact that polling found that viewers liked when candidates had more time with each set of questions, yet the allotted time has decreased from four and a half minutes to one and a half minutes.

Well, it's more than a campaign ad, anyway...
