Many of you watched at least one of the debates that took place between John McCain and Barack Obama and your decision has all ready been decided (at least I hope you're voting.) But most of you who I've spoken to missed out on the speeches given at the Alfred E. Smith charity dinner. It was an opportunity to hear both presidential candidates roast each other for a rare night of self deprecating jokes as opposed to the usual campaign jabs. Barack Obama, asserting that his own "greatest strength would be my humility," dispelled rumors that he was born in a manger, saying he "was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-El, to save the planet Earth." John McCain asserted that "Joe the Plumber" would indeed be hit by higher taxes under an Obama administration, as the now-famous pipe-fitter had "recently signed a very lucrative contract with a wealthy couple to handle all the work on all seven of their houses."
