The Great Debate!

Quick, the campaign event you have been waiting for is finally on!

It’s true, lucky voters. At 3:30 p.m. today, Libertarian Party presidential nominee Bob Barr, independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader and Pastor Chuck Baldwin, the presidential nominee for the Constitution Party, will face off!

I know; you’re saying to yourself, “Finally we have a chance to hear from these important national leaders about major issues 'n stuff.”

OK, that was sarcasm.

What you’re probably saying is, “Why would I want to waste precious minutes on this earth listening to those clowns?”

That's understandable.

Barr is a right-wing windbag from Georgia who warmed a chair in the U.S. House from 1995-2003.

Nader is a consumer-rights windbag who has annoyed people ever since the Corvair was phased out in the ’60s.

Baldwin is a boring windbag from an obscure party. But I do know that he is not related to the famous Baldwin family of actors.

The Event of ’08 will take place at the City Club of Cleveland. Now you know why that town is referred to as, “The Mistake on the Lake.”

If you have nothing else to do, or you are sitting on Death Row waiting for that final walk, you can follow the, uh, action on the ’Net at http://fms.uakron.edu/applications/city_club_of_cleveland/live.htm

Be afraid; be very afraid.
