YA Author John Green has written a blog about Faith and Science as they pertain to the election. It’s a well thought out article that gives readers something to think about. Check it out today.

A follow up to yesterday’s blog: The Obama HQ and the local campaign sign store were both out of signs. I did get my bumper stickers though. I should be able to get yard signs next week, so the plan is still on to get 10 signs and give the jerk who messed with my freedom of speech the proverbial finger.

Kitteh is blogging over at Fictionistas today about sparkly things. Check it out.

I’m headed back to Oxford this weekend. The 1st Presidential Debate of the season will be held there Friday night and I can’t wait. Of course, it bothers me to no end that basically only the media will be allowed to attend the actual debate. The citizens will be watching it via jumbotrons on the square.

How does that make sense? Aren’t debates for the PEOPLE? I think it would be amazing if the media was banished to the jumbotron viewing and the actual citizens were allowed to witness this historic event in person.

I was surprised that Ole Miss was chosen. The historic meaning is monumental since it was just a little over 45 years ago that the University was forced to accept its first African American student. (James Meredith) And now, forty-six years later, we have our first African American Presidential candidate–debating in the same town where US soldiers were deployed to stop the racist rioting.

I was hoping to bring the family with me this time. We have no soccer this weekend and I really feel like this is a great chance for the kids to witness history. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Nemo has a cross country meet on Saturday morning. There’s no way we can get him to Oxford for Friday night and back to Little Rock first thing Saturday morning.

Maybe I’ll take Rader with me…
