Sister Souljah in North Carolina today
Hah! Jon Ham’s a humorous guy He noted at the John Lohn Locke Foundation’s Right Angles blog that Sister Souljah, the rapper/activist whose name gave me the idea for my own, will be speaking tonight at NC Central (which is in Durham) at 7.
Sports stuff
Well, the Cats suffered a disappointing loss today to the Bungles, er Bangles – I mean, Bengals 17-14, so it’s been a pretty depressing sports day. We play Dallas next week at home in a late game, so hopefully we’ll make up for today’s loss with a win over big mouth Terrell Owens and company (are you listening, Mwalimu? Bring it! )
North Carolina election info
I’ve focused a lot of attention on national races, but wanted to take a moment to alert North Carolina readers to a few NC sites of interest you should find useful in learning more about Republican candidates running for the NC House and Senate, as well as those seeking a seat on the NC Court of Appeals and the NC Supreme Court. You’ll find the info on the judges especially useful, considering that North Carolina no longer puts the party affiliation of judges on the ballot.
Meeting ST reader NC Cop
One of the highlights of this past weekend for me was getting to know ST reader NC Cop. NC has been an active participant in the comments section for almost a year now and is very well-liked and respected by regular visitors to this blog.
