Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade

I was as confused as everyone else during the last debate about what the hell Dubya meant when he started talking about Dred Scott. “Huh?” I asked myself, “I’m glad to hear he’s opposed to slavery…” Bush wasn’t actually wandering off into some bi...

Silly LiveJournal Quizzes

I’m getting coffee with a friend/co-worker and I just found out her little sister has a weblog (hah!). There was a dorky little quiz on it that is very typical of livejournals, and I thought I’d subject all two of you to it ;-). (x) - you’ve done...
