CNN said the debate will be an epic battle of wits and we rather more than disagree with that but we have the Word of The Day if either Trump or Clinton says anything of more interest than a kid telling elephant jokes.
(Ed: at least the kid has a chance of being funny!)
Good point, Dagwood.
Welcome to the world of the scintillating wit of the bon vivant who has been blessed by the love of Political Jesus and here's an example:
He was an extrovert and a character, again like his mother, with a knack for tossing off the perfect bon mot. Once at a dinner party, he told his seat mate, "We are all worms. But I do believe that I am a glow-worm."

In New York that's regarded as wit and that's as good a reason as any not to go there, with or without glowing worms.
Yesterday the WOTD was 'albatross' as if it needed any further reinforcement we have the curse of Washington relentlessly destroying our lives. They've even made it a game show to put it on TV.
Hopefully tomorrow's WOTD offers something more challenging.
