Two posts in one day. I"m going nuts. At least they're diverse. One political and one important.
It's a good day in the political realm. Alan Keyes was selected by the Illinois Republican party as their candidate for the United States Senate. He is a little hesitant running for the Senate in a state that is not his current residency.
For those that don't know Alan Keyes, the article describes him as such: " Keyes, who has been a national writer and speaker and had a syndicated radio show, is widely known for his conservative views. He opposes abortion and gay rights, wants to replace the income tax with a national sales tax, thinks parents should be able to send their children to schools that reflect their faith and calls affirmative action a "government patronage program."
He is also the best speaker I have ever heard.
The only thing scary about this election is that both of the candidates would be Harvard Graduates.
I'll remind everyone of the troubling research I did on this the other week.
