Mark Twain and politics

Mark Twain, known for his humorous political commentary, may tempt the current political rivals to debate in Hannibal. The news reported that the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum has invited Senators McCain and Obama to debate in the river city. They have also suggested that Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert act as the moderator.

What a delightful exposition, during these pre-election days, could occur if the invitation is realized. Humor can often reveal insights concerning a person's real self which, in today's political culture, could prove enlightening.
