Time for the debates

President Bush and the challenger, John Kerry, have agreed on a series of three debates with the Vice Presidential candidates sharing "I-Told-You-So"s for one debate only. Apparently the debate rules are bound by a stringent contract that calls for the following provisions:

* No brown M&Ms
* Instant disqualification for fist fighting
* No challenging the opponent to a duel
* No other form of physical attack, including but not limited to gunshots, crosschecks, intentional tripping, thrown mud, pies to the face and other potential projectiles.
* No front row seating for the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush
* Dan Rather does not validate the veracity of either candidate's claims
* No sales of George W. Bush bobbleheads or John Kerry flip-flops

In addition, the Vice Presidential debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards will feature a 10-second delay in case Vice President Cheney should choose to drop any of his patented F-bombs.

Beer stand concessions and hot dog sales are expected to fund Debate security.
