Here’s an open thread for Tuesday morning. The GOP debate starts at 1 pm Pacific time, and we’ll be live-blogging it…

Until then, the UK debate on the “superiority of Western civilization” is quite interesting; here’s a direct link to the live audio stream. Tariq Ramadan just finished speaking a little while ago, labeling the discussion “arrogant” and “fascist,” and refusing to condemn stoning of women, even when directly challenged to do so.

UPDATE at 10/9/07 12:36:58 pm:

Fascinating results from the “Western values” debate.

Before the debate:

313 - For the motion
221 - Against
207 - don’t know

After the debate:

465 - For the motion
264 - Against
18 - don’t know

Tariq Ramadan, William Dalrymple, and Charles Glass struck out. Big time.
