So much excitement at our house last night.  Eileen and I went to Hofstra University for the debate. But unlike watching in your own home where you can gasp, shout, laugh, mock and throw things, audience members at Hofstra have to behave themselves. I decided . . . → Read More: Debate Multi-Tasking.
So I’m sitting here in class, clearly not listening to the debate we’re having on stem cells. No one in my class if pro life, so it’s a very boring argument.
