It just so happens I made up some new rules of engagement for tonight’s rumble:

1. No one is allowed to Kerry a Bush into the studio. If anyone is observed doing such a subversive act they will serve one year in a penitentiary of Martha Stewart’s choice, and they will be made to repeat aloud from dawn until dusk “the patriot act is legal, it really is.”
2. Another rule of engagement, neither candidate is allowed to wear “flip-flops” to the encounter.
3. If either participant is observed wearing cowboy boots they will be required to ride a bronco home and sleep with their campaign chairperson after having a bottle of MD 20/20 Blueberry Surprise.
4. Neither candidate is allowed to say, “We’re making progress in the war on terror.” If that statement is made, the other participant is allowed to take the said candidate’s cowboy boots and give them to his wife’s ketchup factory employees.
5. The participant’s must eat seven cockroaches and climb (wearing only a bungee cord harness) the parallel bars above the studio’s ceiling with a copy of the Bill of Rights clamped tightly between their teeth.
6. If either candidate mentions a tax plan they will be made to actually pay theirs.
7. If either speaker mentions better benefits for the elderly they will have to forfeit their million-dollar policies to victims of the hurricanes that ravaged the state of Florida (also known as the kingdom of chads).
8. Finally, if either candidate mentions how well our economy is doing in the U.S. that candidate will forfeit his candidacy for President, but will instead promise to be on the next Donald Trump show.

If anyone has more rules of engagement for future debates feel free to write the “right.” Or, if that doesn’t appeal to you just write to me.
