Scowls to Smirks

Well, the final debate is over and Kerry unquestionably won all 3! Great, great job! As usual, he was well-spoken, knowledgeable, and clearly defined his plans and how they will repair the damage that Bush has done to our country and to the world.
At first I thought that Bush was doing a decent job himself. Then I noticed that he was smirking and laughing at literally every single statement made by himself or anyone else. I know that he was advised not to scowl, as he did on the first debate, or look completely blank and dumbfounded, as he did on the second debate, but this really started getting spooky. I don't know if he actually finds issues like the economy, civil rights, women's rights, etc to be humorous, but he certainly did not seem to be taking this debate seriously. I would be the last person to say that the president was high or something, but that truly was the way he acted. Did somebody slip him something to calm him down so he wouldn't attack the commentator like he did last time? It was just plain weird.

More on the issues when I have a little more time. In the meantime, congrats again to John Kerry for showing us what a president can really act like!
