Here's what C-SPAN has taught me over the past few days:

1. Rick Santorum is a douche, but the other guy is totally bombing in the debates.

2. In the Missouri Senate race, Jim Talent is an excellent speaker with (seemingly) moderate opinions, while Claire McCaskill comes across like a frazzled grandma trying to do a commercial for a local used car lot.

3. Mark Cuban is a genius. Seriously. This is not what I saw, but it's a good read anyway. I saw him taking questions from reporters about the stock market, the future of the internet, why YouTube is destined to crash and burn (or maybe not), and why broadband video will never replace TV (because HD streaming is currently not possible via broadband).

Anyway - informative TV. Good to have on in the background.
