It's time to make a very important decision.
As President Bush and Sen. John Kerry engage in a battle of wits and words in their third and final presidential debate tonight, the Astros will slug it out against the St. Louis Cardinals in the first game of the National League Championship Series.
The game starts at 7 p.m. and the debate begins at 8 p.m., so program the VCRs and digital video recorders. Or get the remote control ready and prepare to flip-flop the night away on the television set.
I particularly like the head-to-head analysis of the two:
GROUND RULES
• Politics: Sixteen questions. Topic is economic and domestic policy. No props or diagrams. No nose-to-nose direct questioning. Debaters must stay at podiums. Coin toss determines order of closing statements. No extra innings.
• Playoffs: Double-switches and flipflopping OK, as long as you win. So is being single-minded and sticking to your guns, unless it costs you the game. At postgame interview, team members may be questioned, blamed or criticized, depending on their performance.
And you know what? It's not just Texas. You can read the exact same story over at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Only the names have been changed. Go figure.
