"Mr. Sunshine" John Edwards will be debating Dick "Fuck Off" Cheney this Tuesday. We'll be watching the televised debates in a bar that would be entirely comfortable for Mary Cheney (Dick's daughter), namely Wild Side West. To help support the two V.P. candidates we'll be making George Bush hand puppets for Dick Cheney (in case the one he currently controls is taken out of service by a rogue pretzel), or we can compose Yellow Page legal ads for John Edwards, should he have to fall back on his previous profession.

The debate starts at 6:00 PM, so try to arrive early if you want to catch the pre-game commentary. Bring colored markers if you're planning to make a hand puppet (we'll bring pre-made blank puppet meat), or a yellow legal pad if you want to try out your copy production skills in the personal-injury field (the scarier and more greed-inducing the better.) By the end of the night we'll have a slightly better idea if we're in for another four years of Bush-Cheney patriotism and security, or certain round-the-clock terrorist attacks with a 200% tax rate for widows and orphans. Nader fans will be prohibited from attending, due to the 35-page debate contract worked out in advance.
