The first and perhaps only presidential debate happened on June 27. Adam Haman and Brian O'Leary have the definitive smackdown of the whole thing.

The fellows awarded a winner and offered some commentary. Hilarity ensues (though not necessarily intentional - it's a factor of who was "debating.")

Try as I may, I still can’t shake not being a sports narrowcaster. The topic still comes up.

At some point, I have to accept that it is part of who I am.

An interesting thing came up today when I was listening to a podcast that my friend and Natural Order Podcast co-host Adam Haman was on. They mentioned a “Deep Thought” from Jack Handey.
