Also, CBS is going to do a free livestream of it: http://www.cbsnews.com/live/

[My Name is Immaterial]

What time is it?

[smjjames]

The debate is at 6 PM PST, 9 PM EST, in about an hour and 50 minutes.

Good question. It's hard to tell at times. I think he's spending time with his family a lot and living off his success, giving to political causes and doing a gig every now and then, though he has been writing a regular column for the Guardian, so that's something. I think he recently did a few things that may still be on BBC iPlayer but I can't remember what they were.

I always find it funny that such a horrendously black comedian is an upstanding individual

Are we still doing phrasing?

That aside, it actually sort of makes sense. The sort of dark humor he specializes in takes a genuinely kind and caring person telling it for it to not seem meanspirited.

Grr, the news stuff on CBS (I don't actually have CBSNews channel, so, it's a local CBS channel) isn't captioned, the debate had better be..............................

Edit: Captions are back, okay.........

[My Name is Immaterial]

And we're off!
Edit: Or... not.

Don't know about that, Charlie Brooker for example thinks he goes too far at times

[smjjames]

Quick intro and then commercial, okay........

edit: and we're back.

An even more elaborate shut-these-people-up system. No bell, sadly.

Did anybody else think it should be higher off the floor? Unless theres also one in the back above the audience.

Did they bring something bigger than a bell then?

Frankie Boyle is a lot like Billy Connolly in that there's a lot of guys in Glasgow of his age-range and social background/class with the same sense of humour and outlook on things. He's just a particularly witty one who managed to make it big, just like Connolly did.

...somehow Clinton is being made out to be a dove against Sanders and O'Malley. I am so confused.

I didn't get that vibe.

Also, this guy is doing pretty good with moderating.

"climate change causes terrorist attacks"

- Senator Sanders 2015

(I don't remember exactly what he said, but that's the gist of what he said.)

[smjjames]

Hillary seems to act like Libya isn't a total mess despite (O'Malley said it as I was typing!) the elections.

I mean O'Malley is the one who said that it was a mess, not said what I typed.
