Think of the most exciting, important, high-stakes, political debate that you can devise inside your mind, one that is so pertinent to the world we live in today that its happening would almost certainly reshape the world around it.

Have you got it? Good.

That was fun, wasn't it? Oh, by the way, this thing, I guess, is happening…

On February 25th, former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will share a stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City…

A press release from the group said the two men will discuss "topics ranging from the economy to foreign policy."

A spokesperson for Madison Square Garden Entertainment, which is hosting the event, declined to discuss what, if anything, the former presidents are being paid. Organizers at these sorts of events generally do not disclose compensation.

You know what, though? This debate does have the potential to really cause some major waves in my Fantasy American Politics league.

A little more than a year after John McCain threw conservative debutant Sarah Palin her coming out party, the country still finds itself with a chronic case of Wasilla Fever!

Just take Levi Johnston. Not only is he getting his own not-brave-enough-to-get-naked spread in Gay Fancy Magazine (or something), but he's also having tales sung of his brave adventures by ironic-pianist balladeer Ben Folds, whom, I promise, Levi Johnston has never ever ever heard of.

But what about Sarahcuda? Where's her folk ballad? She's twice the folksy ballaverick her granddaughter's father is. Well, she doesn't get a song; she gets a whole opera!

"Say It Ain't So, Joe," a presentation by Guerilla Opera, opens Saturday at Boston Conservatory's Zack Box Theater. The work is composer Curtis Hughes' musical take on America's favorite moose-hunting winker, you betcha. It focuses on that contentious — and sometimes comical — debate from October 2008 between Palin and Joe Biden…

"It is a tragedy about Palin," he said. "Both characters view themselves as saviors of America. And even though I'm not trying to hammer people on the head with a single interpretation, you know that Biden will triumph in the end. But the central figure certainly is Sarah Palin. I found myself having this odd pathos for her, a pathos I would not have felt if I were not writing music for her."

What an interesting coincidence! I've found myself with an odd pathos for a lot of things for about a year or so now.

It's a good thing there were three debates.

It's a good thing there were three debates.

We're of the opinion that John McCain and Joe Lieberman are entirely too close these days.

Don't know about you, but we can't get that image of John McCain's face from the last debate out of our minds.

It keeps popping up in the weirdest places.
