As with last week's fight between
the Kenyan (sic) Assassin and the Stormin' Mormon, tonight's Biden-Ryan tilt -- one is the Boomer
washing his Pontiac in the driveway, the other is Atlas shrugging and shredding
a P90X workout -- you need to be prepared for all the wonky goodness that will flow forth across the Kentucky landscape... and out of your preferred broadcast source. That is, if you prefer your style as a sauce for the substance, and not as the main course.
-- Five things to watch for, from
CNN, the
WaPo,
Politico, and the
Blaze. Think Progress
has twelve.
-- As with last week's debate, the major/minor parties are disinvited, so the Greens' vice-presidential nominee,
Cheri Honkala, is
hosting a street party down a few blocks from the small liberal arts college where Biden-Ryan is being waged, about two hours south of Cincinnatti, OH.
What: "Paul Ryan" Austerity Wagon protest with Cheri Honkala
Where: 317 W. Main Street, Danville, KY (6 blocks from Centre campus)
When: Thursday Oct. 11, 7 PM (action starts at 8 PM sharp)
Join Green Party VP candidate Cheri Honkala to Occupy the Vice Presidential Debate at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky on Thursday, October 11!
Occupy activists around Kentucky and Southern Ohio are organizing some really fun street theatre highlighting Paul Ryan's devastating budget plan that would redistribute wealth upward from the poor and middle class to the wealthy. We aren't counting on Joe Biden or the debate's pre-approved moderator and format, tightly regulated by both campaigns, to bring up that issue -- or any of the other issues we really want to hear more about.
-- Judge Jim Gray, the Libertarian vice-presidential candidate, is just going to
Hang Out on Google.
-- Finally... the
fact-checking is already under way. It will probably still be going on by the time of the
second Romney-Obama debate next Tuesday.
No additional snark necessary.
