Debates....another good reason to get drunk



As the entire country and world probably is aware the vice presidential debates aired last night on almost every channel including Disney (ok, not really, but that 3rd grade class had to be watching it somewhere and it sure wasn't CNN).  To make it easier on our gathered party to stomach the debates we decided to institute a drinking game.  Here goes nothin'

Recipe for drinking game
One small minded back-ward thinking, wolf killing, governor of a state in visual proximity to Russia
One older white haired-man with really white teeth
Several Joe 6 packs of beer and/or a case of Napa Valley Wine
Friends with keen ability to keep their eye on the ball....or in this case the word jumbles coming our of the mouths of 1 and 2 above
Words: Reform, Bipartisan, Oil, Mainstreet, Maverick, Goose, lipstick, Scranton, Wasilla, betcha, gotcha...you get the idea
Facial Expressions:  Winking, wide toothy grins

Watch debates.  Attempt to listen for key words your party chooses to use as drinking words. This can be difficult over the yelling in the room and the way the mainstream media makes the debates so one sided.  Seriously, they are cutting out off the intelligent things Sarah Palin is saying and cutting off all of her sentences so they don't end in consonants.  
Each time one of your chosen key words or facial expressions is demonstrated by one of the candidates feel free to take a swig of your drink of choice.  Eventually, you find yourself sort of tired and sort of drunk, but much happier than when the debates started.  You can finally put things in perspective and realize there is more to life than this election.  Then the alcohol wears off and you find yourself wondering who Sarah Palin's stylist is and how does Joe Biden get his teeth so white....oh yeah, and what a freakin' mess this country is in.
