Political Theater
One of the many wonderful features of the Internet is the ability to access news and media from anywhere in the world. We are no longer lmiited to just those things our local radio and television stations choose to air. In fact, via the web has been the only way I have been able to hear Rush Limbaugh's show, with no local radio stations brave enough to carry it.

The biggest political circus currently underway is the recall election in the PRC. Tonight (Wednesday, 9/3/03) the first official debate between the current governor, Gray-Out Doofus, and the five top candidates to replace him, is scheduled to take place in Walnut Creek. I'm not sure if the offer from Jay Leno is still open to have all 135+ candidates sit in his audience; but the less popular candidates are not allowed in tonight's debate.

For those folks fortunate to be outside the PRC, there is a way to watch the proceedings live over the web. There are probably other feeds; but I found one that is supposed to be accessible on the Contra Costa Times website. The debate is scheduled for 4:00 pm through 6:00 pm Pacific Time. That would be 6-8 here in the Central time zone and 7-9 on the East coast.

As has been well publicized, Arnold is sitting this one out. However, it should still be a lot more interesting than any of the ridiculous debates among the DemonRat presidential wannabes. Those shows are completely meaningless and are intended as nothing more than a way to make everyone beg Queen Hillary to ride in on her white steed (broom) and save the JackAss Party from humiliation at the polls next November.
