I totally misread the invite – I thought it was gonna be just us. Who asked Jon Voight, Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Todd Palin to pull up a chair?

Alterna-Debate
By the Beachwood Pox On Both Houses Affairs Desk
You can find our new installment of Mystery Debate Theater here. Go read it now and then come back for a little nibble on some news from our nation’s alterna-candidates.
1. ThirdPartyTicket.com Launched: Ron Paul’s Money Bomb Architect and Partners Working on Third Party Debate with Twist
On the heels of Congressman Ron Paul’s press conference rejecting the corrupt two parties, and his endorsement of four third-party candidate who agree on bringing the U.S. troops home, protecting our civil liberties, investigating the Federal Reserve, and balancing the federal budget, ThirdPartyTicket.com is working to host a debate among third party candidates punctuated by a money bomb, that Trevor Lyman and others are setting up.
The debate will take place on Thursday, October 16th, 2008, from 7 to 9 pm EST, at New York Society for Ethical Culture.

Bob Barr: Pro-Pot
By Citizen Kate
Editor’s Note: While we prepare for the inevitable horror that will be tonight’s debate between Barack Obama and John McCain – long periods of boredom punctured by short bursts of smear – let’s divert our attention ever so briefly to one of our wonderful third-party candidates the corporate parties would not allow on the stage. In this case, we mean Bob Barr, whose commitment to habeas corpus makes him a true patriot. If only Barr and Nader – plus Mike Gravel, just because – could be on that stage tonight too, we’d hear a little more truth. Here’s Citizen Kate with Barr at the Libertarian convention.

The CTA opened a new online gift shop last week. Here are some of the items we’re guessing are on sale.
1. Maps: Never used.
2. Authentic fake time sheets.
3. Surplus Conductor to English translators.
4. “I spent two hours going through this slow zone and all I got was this crummy T-shirt.”
5. Evacuation safety manuals: Like new!

The Haystack Bailout
By Dennis Kucinich
Monday marked a day that will go down in history, when Congressional Democrats and Republicans alike took on full responsibility to protect the interests of taxpaying Americans, and defeated the deceptive bailout bill, defying the dictates of the Administration, the House Majority Leadership, the House Minority Leadership and the special interests on Wall Street.
Obviously Congress must consider quickly another course. There are immediate issues which demand attention and responsible action by the Congress so that the taxpayers, their assets, and their futures are protected.
We MUST do something to protect millions of Americans whose homes, bank deposits, investments, and pensions are at risk in a financial system that has become seriously corrupted. We are told that we must stabilize markets in order for the people to be protected. I think we need to protect peoples’ homes, bank deposits, investments, and pensions, to order to stabilize the market.
