Pete's Log: 3rd party debates, 2nd party debates, log stuff, and more

Entry #483, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

last night i saw some 3rd party debates on cspan. harry brown was there, but what really amused me was that John Hagelin, formerly Pat Buchanan's opposition for the reform party, is now the candidate for the natural law party. So the debates last night were between the libertarian party, the natural law party, and the constitution party. it struck me as odd that after all their whining about not getting to participate in the main debates, Nader and Buchanan weren't at these debates. But whatever. i actually saw Buchanan saying something about how if he had as much money as the other guys and if they let him on the debates, he'd be a very viable third candidate, because he has a strong appeal for middle america. i'm not quite sure if i buy that. so on our cable lineup (35 channels or so), 8 channels are playing the presidential debates. that's a lot.

a couple people have asked for the source to my log, so i sent it to them, and have also begun work on making it releasable code. that may take a while, tho... the following log referral was particular amusing. somebody did a yahoo search for "fish tank UFO" and found my log.

Dark Angel is proving to actually be kind of entertaining... I'm impressed. Not enough, tho, to forgive this cameron character for titanic.
