THE MORNING AFTER
SNIP: Good morning, here we are at the coffee shop.
SNIPE: I need a good strong cup this morning.
SNIP: Did you watch the debate last night?
SNIPE: I lasted about 45 minutes. That’s when I decided the ads were the best part of the show.
SNIP: Didn’t you like anything about it?
SNIPE: Nothing.
SNIP: Oh, well. Who do you think did the best job?
SNIPE: The audience.
SNIP: There wasn’t one.
SNIPE: Exactly.
SNIP: What didn’t you like?
SNIPE: The questions were poorly phrased, and seldom, if ever, even addressed in the answer. Just incessant blather with no facts or proof of anything. Moderators never challenged anyone. There might as well have been robots sitting at those desks. Nothing about party platforms or workable plans for the future – just rehash, lie, accuse, rehash, lie, accuse, lie, rehash, lie . . .
SNIP: Was silencing the mics a good idea?
SNIPE: Would have been better if they were all off all evening.
SNIP: Do you think any voters’ minds were changed or any new information was given them?
SNIPE: Very doubtful.
SNIP: Anything else you wanted to say?
SNIPE: Have you ever noticed how many buildings have no visible address numbers on them? That’s so bothersome.
