Brisk, brusque Biden-Ryan debate Vice presidential candidates at each other on everything BY DAVID ESPO AND MATTHEW DALY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DANVILLE, Ky. — At odds early and often, Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan squabbled over the economy, taxes, Medicare and more Thursday night in a contentious, interruption-filled debate. “That is a bunch of malarkey,� the vice president retorted after a particularly tough Ryan attack on the administration’s foreign policy.

i“I know you’re under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground, but I think people would be better served if we don’t interrupt each other,� Ryan later scolded his rival, referring to Democratic pressure on Biden to make up for President Barack Obama’s listless performance in last week’s THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (2) debate with Mitt Romney.

PORT ANGELES — In addition to the crustacean, the event has culture. Yes, the Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival is a chance to eat. A lot. Tonight and through Sunday, there will be more food per square foot around City Pier than you can shake a claw at — but it’s surrounded by a small sea of art and music. This 11th annual CrabFest is a showcase — visual, aural, culinary — of what makes this place rich. Let’s start with the Community Crab Feed, today from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Crab Central, aka the Red Lion Hotel parking lot at 221 N. Lincoln St. The event, sponsored by the Peninsula Daily News, lays out prodigious amounts of fresh shellfish — sold at the market

From 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., Pace and his mates — vocalist Cindy Lowder, keyboardist Jim Rosand, drummer Terry Smith, bassist Duane Wolfe — will help people dance off any calories they might pick up. After this evening’s community feed, CrabFest will be open from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Opening ceremonies go from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Saturday, and this year, the event brings together members of both the Lower Elwha Klallam and Jamestown S’Klallam tribes. Elwha Klallam elder Ben Charles Sr. and Jamestown storyteller and historian Elaine Grinnell will share blessings for the celebration at 11 a.m. under The Gateway pavilion at Front and Lincoln streets.
