Ground Beef and Ground Rules
This Modern World has a nice post today about the ground rules for the presidential debates.
----------------------
The candidates are forbidden from asking each other any direct questions of any kind, nor can they challenge each other with proposed pledges. Thus, much of the skill used in actual debating is explicitly forbidden. Point for Monkey.
No pre-written notes of any kind will be allowed, nor can candidates use any props or have anyone in the audience to point to (like, say, Allawi) to examplify their rhetoric. Point for Kerry.

As promised, also some stuff on beef, cow cannabilism and mad cow. (link)

Wow, contractually mandated handshakes. That is a new low.
