My Hump Day Humor October 8th Day After Debate Edition will be delayed until at least Thursday as I try and figure out what is going wrong with this computer. I was nearly finished writing the post, when the computer froze and I lost everything, "even" saved information!!
To tide you over here is a look at 10 things you didn't know about Presidential debates and hundreds of other humorous videos, and articles about politics at Comedy.com. Here is a sample:
1. The Lincoln-Douglas debates weren’t Presidential debates. You probably thought they were. They were running for Senate. And they weren’t debating for citizens. Citizens didn’t vote for the Senate, state legislatures did. Stuff was crazy in the 1800s.
2. All of their seven debates were about slavery. That used to be a big thing. Stenographers came to their debates. Newspapers that supported Douglas and slavery corrected grammatical errors made by the stenographers, while leaving Lincoln’s speeches in their rough form. He looked like a YouTube commenter. Lincoln edited them himself for a book after he was elected. The book was popular enough to get him nominated for President.
3. Both candidates spoke for about 90 minutes. Whoever went second did 90 in a row. That was back when candidates knew about stuff
Have a Nice Evening and hopefully I shall have it figured out by tomorrow!! ;)
