And remember: The debate repeats at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday this week on Access Tucson, 99 Cox and 74 Comcast.

Jolly good show!
Rundown for anybody with no speakers to watch the program:
• Doctress Neutopia: Has a bit of the ol’ “crazy” in her eyes! Looks like she might bust out a flag and cut a hole in it to use as a hula hoop at any moment!
• Peter Bollander: Looks like a generic bald villain who just stepped out of a comic book. I wouldn’t trust this guy to sell used items on eBay, let alone to run the country!
• Charles Skelley: Just arrived via time machine from the 1800s, if they had libertarians in the 1800s. Apparently forgot his straw hat and corncob pipe though.
• Chuck See: A mild-mannered fellow from the Lunar Planetary Lab. Even looks like he might have spent some time in space, mentally speaking.
Questions, on video, from local voters:
(1) Max Cannon, author of Red Meat — “My mailbox got knocked over. I want to know what you’re going to do about postal vandalism.”
Doctress Neutopia: No more letters! Everything email!
Peter Bollander: Intensive detective work.
Charles Skelley: Privatize postal service. Turn project over to Fed-Ex.
Chuck See: More neighborhood watch programs in the inner city, and urban renewal.
(2) Eric Smith, bartender at King Fisher: “I’m worried the government is hiding things from us. When do you plan on releasing the UFO files?”
Peter Bollander: Believes in UFOs. But thinks records should be released in a “soft” way, to reduce panic.
[Note: Video ends here. Other candidates apparently abducted and “probed” before they had a chance to reply.]
Jim Nintzel is to be commended for keeping a straight face throughout the proceedings. Though Nintzel has one of those faces that seems perpetually perched on the edge of bursting out laughing.
