At the time of this writing, it's still not clear whether the scheduled presidential debate will take place this evening. If you'd like to be prepared, just in case, here are a couple of links that might help you get through it:
- FreePress.net is offering a "Rate the Debates" service, where you can sign up to express your opinion of the debate and the debate coverage, and have your opinion conveyed to the media.
- If that's too serious, Mother Jones (the new home of Kevin Drum) is offering a bingo card/ drinking game for download on their fundraising page. A few beers might help make the whole process more palatable.
