Embarrassingly Good

Canada has better Presidential election debates than we do.

The Munk Debate in Toronto (if I didn't say the location, you could pick it up off the accent of the woman hosting) on the election is one of the most refreshing things I've listened to in some time.

Richard Holbrooke & Samantha Power vs. Niall Ferguson and Charles Krauthammer.

Partisan, yes, very much so, but in an intelligent manner. Even with some logical arguments with evidence and stuff, from both sides. Crazy, man. Crazy.

The nuttiest part: Niall Ferguson and Charles Krauthammer sway an audience of people from Ontario from 29% agreeing that a Republican administration can make the world safer to 46%. Probably a lot more slack than McCain will ever pick up in the States.

Listen to it here, and have every single McCain-Obama debate become an intellectual letdown.
