Team Debate Team

We have some things that we would like you to think about over the weekend, after you recover from tonight's debate—which is going to set new ratings records!

• "'We've seen over and over again that the blogs are the most effective fact-checking tool that we have,'—McCain spokesman, Michael Goldfarb, to Michelle Malkin."

• Uh oh. "Patches of matter in the universe seem to be moving at very high speeds and in a uniform direction that can't be explained by any of the known gravitational forces in the observable universe."

• "Somalia's notorious pirates have staged perhaps their most brazen attack yet, seizing a Ukrainian ship in the Indian Ocean full of arms bound for Kenya's military, including dozens of battle tanks." Ukrainian tanks? Bound for Kenya, you say?

• "Lindsay Lohan got some ink this week when she told a radio host she and Sam Ronson had been 'going on' for a long time. Many took that as a coming out statement, but her press flack says that's not the case: 'There was no confession.'"

• "At 7:00 p.m. this evening, the President and Mrs. Bush will attend the 2008 National Book Festival Gala performance and dinner."
