Stick a fork in us, we’re done. Today Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville fired offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, less than a year after hiring him to replace Al Borges. Since Tuberville took control of the Auburn football program in 1999 (my freshman year there), he has seen five offensive coordinators come and go (technically, Hugh Nall continued as offensive line coach from 1999 to the present). The best year we had on offense came in 2004 (albeit not necessarily statistically) when Auburn went undefeated and wasn’t allowed to play in the BCS Championship Game against USC (USC subsequently blew out Oklahoma). That was under Al Borges. Tuberville, a defensive specialist, will fill in as play-caller until the team hires a new coordinator. Outstanding.
Adam Feldman, Alan Cross, David Jackson, David Phillips, Ed Stetzer, Kevin Bussey, Justin Woulard, Micah Fries, and Timmy Brister: you may now begin the taunting.

I want to encourage you to look at each of the candidates’ (even the Libertarian) beliefs on the issues. If there’s one thing that must take priority in any election, it’s knowing where each stands on the issues America considers important. Rather than listening to the smear ads that distort the truth, why not just go straight to the source? Here’s where to go:
John McCain and Sarah Palin, Republican Party
Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Democratic Party
Bob Barr and Wayne Root, Libertarian Party
You can check out a comparison of the presidential candidates on Wikipedia here. (PS: I’m not supporting Bob Barr this election; it’s just an image from his website.)

I am pro-life. While during this election, I support a Democratic pro-choice candidate for the office of President of the United States, I am secure in my position against abortion. That said, Governor Palin’s response to Katie Couric in the video embedded above is one of the reasons I cannot and do not consider this one singular issue to be the driving force behind my vote this year. [Her part is about half-way through the video, after Joe Biden's response.] She offers that her position is that abortion should be a state issue, not a federal one. I disagree. My position is that we should have a federal ban on abortion, except in particular and very specific instances (i.e., if the life of both is in danger otherwise).
