"Now that's a win."

"Strawman argument terrorises conversation... News at eleven."

"That's six 'noes' and one 'aye', the ayes have it"

"Mainstream? Who's to say what's mainstream?"

'I won't lower myself to the level of my opponent.'

"And now, speaking against the theory of evolution..."

'I know it's controversial, but my calculations prove beyond doubt that a nod is BETTER than a wink.'

Oz Debating Society. You can't refute everything I say just by call it a "straw man" argument.

"On the contrary, Bosworth, it's YOU who has lost all perspective."

With no clear winner, the debate ended in a tie breaker.

"Ever notice how grateful people are when you present them with facts contrary to their beliefs?"

'I'm now going to open the floor to questions.'

"In this one, references to everything have been deleted."

'I suppose you're entitled to your opinion, but I still say that Shemp was the greatest of them all.'

A bunch of global warming skeptics want to join eco club. It's a school organization. You have to let them in. But they just want to harass us with selective facts! Today: Eco club. So? Debate is good. You have :An Inconvenient Truth" to counter their arguments. Oh. Great. Now we'll have to read it.

Debating Society. I can accept that money is speech as long as we can agree that some spending is like yelling fire in a theater.

Do you go for Hannity or O'Reilly? Tough call. O'Reilly's presence is so big, fearless. Whereas Hannity has a wicked fast tongue and such inner strength. As symbolized externally by his jawline. O'Reilly is so tall. Something strange is happening. Coulter's a bit masculine for my tastes. Ditto. HOJ.

You're on "Ask Sadie." What's your problem?! Super delegates. A candidate could win the most votes in the primaries but lose anyway of the superdelegates want someone else! Can you believe that? Oh stop yer sniveling. In my day, the parties chose candidates in smoke-filled backrooms without even pretending the people get a vote. At least this charade gets you out of the house. Gets the blood pumping. I guess.

And now, for a rebuttal.

Nearly a third of the earth's life-forms have gone extinct. Cut! Stop with all the facts. This is debate club! But we're using a cable tv talk show format! What should I say? Unsupported opinions

Today on the Ask Sadie Show, we'll be addressing one single topic: Wondering. In my day, when a body said I wonder why dust bunnies are called dust bunnies, it led to all sorts of delightful speculation. We could while away hours debating whether it was a marketing ploy by big broom ... or whether it dated back to Napoleon, who had a fetish for dirty rabbits. And if we were lucky, opinions could get so heated that fisticuffs would ensue. Wondering is just one of many lovely human experiences utt
