Thirteen year old Evan O'Dorney, a homeschooler, captured the National Spelling Bee title yesterday. He lives in the town next door to mine. Holla! I'd like to point out, again, that there is a difference between intelligence and knowledge. O'Dorney is surely a bright boy, but smarts don't imply that you know how to correctly spell lots of words, or vice versa.

NY Times has this great piece on the farm bill. It's amazing how one piece of legislation can have such far-reaching consequences. I saved this article to the "well written articles" folder on my computer. I highly recommend you read it.

Yesterday I watched Morgan Spurlock's new show 30 Days. In a day and age when no one is willing to listen to the other side of an argument, this show is fantastic for throwing one camp smack in the middle of the other. I would highly recommend that you watch it. On a related note, I need to work on my penchant for walling myself in and listening to only what I want to hear, in the hope that my opinions will stand up to criticism.

I love this website already. Large text. I wonder sometimes when I log in to a website and the screen displays only login name and password info why they don't make the text bigger, so you can actually read it. WordPress is all over it, which is awesome. More people should follow your example.
