My friends and I put this together today. Please pass it around to anyone and everyone you can before Thursday's debate. I'm hoping it gets picked up by some political blogs.

works fine for me -- very clever.
for those who say it's not working, maybe this is blindingly obvious, but just in case: you know the 4 card links are pdf downloads, not new pages, right? sorry if that's not the problem. _________________ Bumping ancient threads with bot-like bullshit

Im not sure what you mean but when I click on the link from here (im on Firefox) I get this message:
I wish there were more than four, since I'll be watching with more than three other friends Thursday night. But this is nifty nonetheless!

Use the blank cards in "make your own" and have everyone fill out their own card ahead of time!

Mortgages, definitely...but will she know enough to say Fannie or Freddie, though? _________________ Windsor Terrace=>Park Slope=>Prospect Heights=>Park Slope.

Madman, I think I saw evidence of total PWNage on your part with the Bingo cards. During the CNN pre-debate commentary, two of the commentators had Palin Bingo cards in front of them on their desks (I was able to see because of a friend's amazing HD TV). _________________

Update for friends of brooklynian:
More than 530,000 hits today so far
Mentions in prime (official) web posts on:
NY Times
LA Times
Chicago Tribune
Wall Street Journal
San Francisco Chronicle
Politico
Time Out New York
etc etc etc
Thanks so much to my home base who helped breathe life into this thing. I hope it helped bring everyone's attention to just how empty of a shell she is. Some right wingers posted negative reviews of the site, saying it made Palin look like a Talking-Points robot. My response was "And your point is...?"
Anyway's
Gawd bless ya! Don'cha know yer jus' the best AmercANs I know!

Good work, Madman! My focus on the game kept me from throwing things at the television!
I only wish we'd played a drinking game to the phrase "greed on Wall Street." _________________ Follow me on Twitter: @grandarmymajor
