Debate debate: Two chances to see/hear MO gubernatorial hopefuls

KCUR-FM has just announced that Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon and Rep. Kenny Hulshof will debate at 11 a.m. Thursday morning on public radio stations throughout the state.

If, however, you're one of those people who doesn't care to listen to federally funded socialistic NPR crapola, then I have three letters for you: F-O-X.

The Fox affiliates at either end of the state will have Nixon and Hulshof in studio for another face-to-face on Saturday night -- and this time, you'll actually get to see their faces. Here's the release.
