Can you handle this upcoming political theater? I’m not sure I can.
Monday night’s presidential debate figures to be one of the single most entertaining and unpredictable political events of the past 50 years or so. Trying to script in advance how this is going to go—well, let’s just get the proverbial hundred monkeys and hundred typewriters and see what happens. (Kids, this link included in case you don’t know what a typewriter is.)
Lovers of language, would-be pundits, irreverent bloggers—we’re all salivating.
But can we enjoy it knowing?
Can we enjoy it without also sobbing uncontrollably at the fact that one of these tools is going to win?
