If you’re old enough to vote, you’re old enough to hate listening to politicians. Many students taking a government class

If you’re old enough to vote, you’re old enough to hate listening to politicians. Many students taking a government class this semester have been assigned to watch the presidential debate this Friday, September 26 (and others, apparently, will be watching it of their own volition). Learning should obvi be fun and interesting, so just as Stephen Colbert created the Green Screen Challenge to make Presidential Hopeful John McCain more interesting, FM has created a way for you to get the most out of your debate experience.
1) Take one shot every fifth time “Change” is mentioned. (If you took one every time, you’d be rushed to UHS before the first ten minutes of the debate had passed.)
2) Chug one beer in a manly fashion every time McCain says that he “puts Country first.”
3) Have some brandy if “Elitism” comes into play.
4) Put your lipstick to a Cosmo if sexism rears its ugly head, or if either candidate references a pig.
5) Sit back with a nice rum and Coke if a squabble about who would fight big oil more breaks out.
6) Enjoy a Sex on the Beach if anyone dares to ask about family values and sex education.
7) If you think that the economy is in trouble, down some wine coolers you got from Costco.
8) If you think the economy is sound, make your butler pour the Cristal straight into your mouth.
As for the Vice-Presidential debate…
1) Down a White Russian when Palin mentions the words “hockey” or “mom.” Drink two if she uses both together.
2) Drink a Heiny when Biden mentions that he is “blue collar.” If Biden and Palin get into a fist-fight, shotgun it.
