Last night Rick Scott and Alex Sink, the two candidates for governor of the state of Florida, held a debate. I tried to watch it but it was just too stressful and embarrassing.
It was a slug fest.
One commentator likened it to second graders on a playground.
You're a liar. No you're a liar. I know you are but what am I?
If you were looking for how one of these candidates would lead the fourth largest state (population wise) in the country you didn't get a clue last night.
But here's some good news. (For me, anyway.) John Stewart is going to lead his Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. No shouting, you will want to use your inside voice. It will (hopefully) be people who are not on the fringe of anything. Just us folks in the middle wanting our leaders to learn to work together.
For those of us who can't go, there will be places across the country to gather and watch the rally on television. These places will be kid friendly. Everybody is welcome.
Just plan to use your inside voice and be civil.
