Peep Debate

Last week the vice president guys were debating. Tonight it is Obama and Romney, the presidential guys. Jack says I should call this post the SPeep debate, since it is the second presidential debate, but I like Peep better.

This debate is a town hall debate, which Jack says means real people get to ask questions. I wish Chuck Norris would show up to ask a question. I always want Chuck Norris to show up at these things to make them more interesting, but he never does.

The debate has 35 people in Ohio commenting and judging things. They will be the undecided voters at the bottom of the screen. I wonder if my Aunt Beth or Uncle Kevin are there? They live in Ohio.

My mom thinks Anderson Cooper is cute. Yuck.

I think the next presidential debate should be a rap battle between Obama and Romney. That would be awesome and funny.

The moderator says everyone has to be polite and not cheer or boo or be jerks.

Obama is wearing a RED tie and Romney is wearing a BLUE tie. They switched it up. Romney's tie has stripes, and Obama's has dots.

What does it take to create jobs? Is Romney going to tell us? He said "I know how to create jobs," but didn't say how.

I like that green clock at the back of the room.

Obama says how he will create jobs. But only some people have jobs right now. I think Jack should get a job. He mows the lawn, but not that often.

They are sitting on stools. I don't think stools are very presidential. They should be sitting in big velvet chairs with their names on plaques.

Romney has a bigger flag pin. I think the bigger pin looks threatening.

Romney interrupted the moderator. Rude!

This guy asking the question looks like Mark Hamill. Maybe Mark Hamill should run for president. He would make lightsabers the law!

The undecided voters on the bottom of the screen like what Obama is saying. And then it dropped! And then it went up again! Do these undecided voters know what they are talking about?

Jack turned on the ceiling fan. The debate is making him irritable and hot.

Romney's hair is puffy. Ha ha. Does this make him a political hippie?

The undecided voters like being "energy independent."

My mom is complaining about how that one group is all men. I said at least the moderator is a girl.

They're arguing!

There's a guy in the front row wearing a polo shirt. Shouldn't he have dressed up to be on tv for the presidential debate?

Romney is smirking. He stood up! Romney is interrupting!

What are wind jobs? <toot> isn't that a wind job?  Hahahaha!

That's a big microphone on Obama's tie. Dad says it's a double lav. One microphone and a backup.

It's 8:30.  I'm going to eat an ice cream sandwich now.

Join me for the next Peep debate, when Jack says they will talk about foreign policy and have podiums.

Veep Debate

Me and Jack are watching the Vice Presidential debate. This is between Obama's VP Joe Biden and that other guy, Paul Ryan.  Paul Ryan is from Janesville Wisconsin. That is not too far away from us. When we drove home from my great grandma's funeral we ate dinner at Culver's in Janesville. My mom and Jack said that since we are a liberal family we shouldn't talk to anyone.

While Paul Ryan was talking, Biden looked amused.  Now Biden is talking and Ryan looks amused. Paul Ryan took a drink of water.

There is a a thing on the bottom of the screen that shows "undecided voters." Jack says he doesn't think anyone is very undecided.

The blonde lady interrupted Paul Ryan and asked him how he was going to do something.

Paul Ryan is wearing a RED striped tie, and Biden is wearing a BLUE striped tie. Do they plan this?

Isn't is weird that people call the president of Israel "Bibi?" I wonder if that annoys him? I bet it annoys him.

Biden is laughing at Paul Ryan.  Biden says Iran doesn't have a weapon.

Jack says Paul Ryan looks like a doofis.

"This president doesn't bluff." GOBAMA!

Maybe Paul Ryan should be Obama's next VP? He's a little younger than Biden.

The undecided voters like what Biden is saying about the economy.

Paul Ryan just talked about Janesville WI. I wonder if he ate at that same Culver's we ate at? Jack says Paul doesn't eat at Culver's. He's too rich and works out to P90X, so he doesn't eat fatty food.

Oooh! Ryan just burned Biden! Everyone laughed because Biden doesn't always say the right thing.

Biden is laughing again.

Biden says he loves Paul Ryan. Does he really?

I don't love either one of them. I've watched 30 minutes of this debate. I'm DONE.

Quiet You!

My Scholastic order came today. I got the sneak peek book of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel, a Phineas and Ferb Robotinator and a triple security locker. Complete with a key, card and lock. The alarm was really annoying and I couldn't take it anymore, so Mom removed the batteries and all was good. The only problem is that the key is stuck. I tried to take it out but I accidentally broke it. When Dad came home, he took out the plastic part and the thing became a double security locker. I also marked where I should unlock it with a Sharpie. It was between 10 and 15. In other loud news, what can you do with science goo?

A Shrubbery!



Over the weekend, my dad read in the Chicago Tribune that me and my brother Jack’s favorite movie, “Monty Python and The Holy Grail” is playing on the big screen at the Wilmette Theater. We have never seen this movie because me and Jack weren’t born when this was released. It was released in 1975. My mom and dad were five when it was in theaters. Dad was in Los Angeles when he discovered the movie showing, so he emailed the information to my mom. 

 Tonight, my mom asked us if we wanted to go see Monty Python on the big screen. We said, “DUH! YES!” Things got a little crazy then. Me and Jack did an impersonation of the Knights Who Say Ni, and we pretended to ride horses and make clopping sounds.

Mom bought the tickets online and printed them on our printer. She sent Jack to the basement to get the tickets and hung them on the fridge with a magnet. We are going to see the movie tomorrow night at 7 pm! We both gave mom hugs for being nice, but I always give Mom hugs because I love her.
