Mike Oliver writes "Arizona Libertarians have filed a lawsuit that could stop Arizona State University from sponsoring the third presidential debate between George Bush and Sen. John Kerry, scheduled for Oct. 13. The lawsuit maintains that by spending up to $2 million to sponsor the event in Tempe, the university is making an illegal campaign contribution to the Republican and Democratic parties."

    If you remember from the movie, there was no one real "Dread Pirate Roberts", every time the current DPR would get enough money to retire on, he would fire the whole crew and promote one person to be the new DPR, who would in turn hire a whole new crew who all believed him to be the true DPR.

    They're only spending $2M on a Presidential debate? We spent $4.2M on the VP debate. Cheap bastards.
