Heya Roomie,

Thanks for the good words, it is quite a feeling of RELIEF I am experiencing, and it all was prompted from my blog (my Memo to all PUMAs). Snarky I realize, but I didn't predict how effective it would be Check it out - I added an adorable photo of Dr. Maddow last night :airhump:

Cheers,

mfaye :fbump:

Ah! Was this the Clinton supporter "friend" who posted that nasty message that you read at the Meetup?

There's one thing -- and just one thing -- that I admire about Jerome Corsi: that is his genius for self-promotion. He was involved with the Swift Boat Vets, which created an electoral earthquake during the 2004 election, his was the primary guy behind the North American Union hoax, which was much discussed, and now he has the #1 book in the country, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality. For that, I applaud him.



However, there is one enormous problem with Jerome Corsi: he's a habitually dishonest buffoon who will say absolutely anything to make a buck. He's the Right's Michael Moore, except that Michael Moore has much more talent -- and certain boundaries beyond which, even he won't go. Corsi, on the other hand, would probably write "Aliens in charge at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" if he thought he could make a few bucks off it.



Keep in mind, folks, this is the same lunatic who has been running around for years telling people that George Bush is going to somehow personally merge the US, Canada, and Mexico over the objections of the American people and Congress. In other words: Jerome Corsi is a conspiracy nut whose credibility level is zero.

To walk to oh-so-beathen paths of the 08 campaign, of course. I did it only twice in 2004 for Kerry - and got some really great pictures of the foliage too! It was a lotta fun and I'm glad I'm gonna do it again - in fact I'm a LOT more excited to get out there this time.

The debates have been announced!

Joint statement from Obama and McCain:

The Barack Obama and John McCain campaigns have agreed to hold three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate in September and October sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates. The campaigns have come to the earliest agreement on presidential debates reached in any general election in recent history. This announcement reflects the presidential campaigns' agreement on dates, locations, and the formats for the fall debates. Campaign-appointed debate negotiators House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said they were pleased to have reached an early agreement to provide the American people with the opportunity to see and hear the candidates debate the critical issues facing the country. The two campaigns have accepted sponsorship of the debates by the Commission on Presidential Debates, subject to the debates being conducted under the terms of their agreement.



Summary of McCain-Obama Debate Agreement



The two campaigns agreed today on a framework for four General Election debates, to be sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates. Key elements of the agreement are:



First Presidential Debate:

Date: September 26

Site: University of Mississippi

Topic: Foreign Policy & National Security

Moderator: Jim Lehrer

Staging: Podium debate

Answer Format: The debate will be broken into nine, 9-minute segments. The moderator will introduce a topic and allow each candidate 2 minutes to comment. After these initial answers, the moderator will facilitate an open discussion of the topic for the remaining 5 minutes, ensuring that both candidates receive an equal amount of time to comment



Vice Presidential Debate

Date: October 2nd

Site: Washington University (St. Louis)

Moderator: Gwen Ifill

Staging/Answer Format: To be resolved after both parties’ Vice Presidential nominees are selected.



Second Presidential Debate

Date: October 7

Site: Belmont University

Moderator: Tom Brokaw

Staging: Town Hall debate

Format: The moderator will call on members of the audience (and draw questions from the internet). Each candidate will have 2 minutes to respond to each question. Following those initial answers, the moderator will invite the candidates to respond to the previous answers, for a total of 1 minute, ensuring that both candidates receive an equal amount of time to comment. In the spirit of the Town Hall, all questions will come from the audience (or internet), and not the moderator.



Third Presidential Debate

Date: October 15

Site: Hofstra University

Topic: Domestic and Economic policy

Moderator: Bob Schieffer

Staging: Candidates will be seated at a table

Answer Format: Same as First Presidential Debate

Closing Statements: At the end of this debate (only) each candidate shall have the opportunity for a 90 second closing statement.



All four debates will begin at 9pm ET, and last for 90 minutes. Both campaigns also agreed to accept the CPD’s participation rules for third-party candidate participation.

Weather is sunny and good, and I hope it stays that way 'til tomorrow - the end of the week-long annual Malmö Festival. :)

Um, it would be easy to replace those touch-screen voting machines.



1. Get a piece of paper and a pen.

2. Write down the candidate's name you prefer.

3. The City or Town clerk counts the votes and writes it on a blackboard.





Hey, don't knock it; it works for Dixville Notch and Hart's Location.
