I just read this article from DailyKos indicating that if the Presidential debate was delayed, the VP debate would need to be delayed as well.
Here’s an idea, switch the debates. Free up the Presidential candidates to deal with the economic crisis in Washington, and let Biden and Palin fight it out. I don’t see why that wouldn’t be an option.

As promised in this post, here’s the video of the Thingamagoop in action.

Nothing but respect, a mouth full of chew, and a mountain dew bottle half full of urine.
So I am watching the first part of Olbermann’s interview with Obama tonight, and when it breaks for commercial, I hear “Countdown with Keith Olbermann is brought to you by Amway.”
I nearly vomited my pinko commie liberal tofu all over my urban elitist terrorism supporting Afghan rug. Apparently, I am not the first to notice. (scientology too? for real?)
Amway, who gave $4,000,000 to Progress for America. The same Progress for America that spent $45 million on ads promoting George W. Bush and attacking John Kerry in 2004 (outspending the Swift Boat Veterans)? The same PFA that ran an ad campaign tying Iraq to 9/11 using the father of a flight 93 passenger? And THEN mailed free copies of the movie Flight 93 to thousands of Ohioans in the days running up to the 2006 election? Progress for America’s spinoff, Voter Fund, produced the most expensive ad of the campaign, specifically engineered to disgustingly drape George W. Bush in 9/11 erotica. Watch for yourself:
Amway, who’s founder and former CEO, Richard Devos gave $5,000,000 to the dominionist movement, who believe that god has called them to take over the United States government, with either a “nation governed by Christians, or a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law.” Come on Keith, they are tied to the bat shit crazy philosophies of Alan Keyes!
Here’s the clip of the segue into commercial, the Amway splash screen, and then the immediately ensuing Amway commercial. The quality is poor, but you get the idea. (penguin painters? what?)
Ignoring entirely the questionable business model of MLM, I have to think that somehow, this is a misunderstanding. In the least, you owe us an explanation. Keith, I plead with you. You, of all people, can see this hypocrisy. Please, stop.
