1] Every time Bush fumbles over a foreign leader's name, DRINK!
2] Every time Kerry tries to over-intellectualize something simple, DRINK!
3] Every time Bush lies, DRINK!
4] Every time Kerry rolls his eyes, DRINK!
5] Every time Bush carefully avoids answering a direct question, DRINK!
6] Every time Kerry uses a tired buzzword, DRINK!
7] Every time the word "America" is mispronounced, DRINK! (Bush will say "a-mur-ka" and Kerry will say "a-may-roh-ka")
8] Every time Bush squints and furrows his brow in an obvious attempt to understand something, DRINK!
9] Every time Kerry gives an obviously fake smile and/or fixes his hair, DRINK!
10] Every time you're sickened by the whole blasted thing, DRINK!

It will make the debates much, much, much more fun.

Alcohol poisoning may be rampant across the country. I'll be in a drunken stupor by the first commercial break.

You forgot;
every time Kerry manages to drop his war record into an answer, no matter what the question: Drink!
Also: every time Bush says Saddam in answering a question, no matter what the question: Drink!

I'm not sure what time they'll be on in Europe or even if they'll be broadcast at all. Do you get C-Span or anything like that? I know they're at 8 o'clock my time (CST) tonight ... guess I could look it up.

Edit: It's 16:35 (4:35 pm) by UTC/GMT and it's 11:35 am where I am, so at 8:00 pm my time, it will be 1:00 am UTC/GMT. You can probably figure it out from there.

They're live on CNN, so watch that for a while and they'll tell you the CST. Probably early afternoon Friday sometime. (it's on at 9am Friday here in Hong Kong, so i guess 1 or 2pm CST)

I have insomnia, and I'll put it on in my study, whilst I relax on my Davenport. I'll set the sleep timer on my tv and watch the first few minutes until it bores me into the gentle arms of Morpheus for several hours while my Wild Turkey awaits my attention on my elegant silver drink cart. Alfred, I'll take my coffee and grape nuts in the Breakfeast Nook.
