I was at my mom’s this weekend to pick apples and roast brats over a bonfire. A thought occurred to me and I looked over at her.
“So, you’ve been a small-town council member and mayor.”
“Yeah.”
“Do you think a year and a half as governor would qualify you to lead the nation?”
She shook her head sadly. “No. I don’t think so.”
“No?” She has more years of city service then Palin had. She served on this committee and that board. She was president of a non-profit. She participated in a sister city program, giving her international experience. Her middle name is even Louise.
“No.” She shrugged. “I’ve never been a beauty queen.”
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
I think with this election we have the opportunity to make history . . . or repeat it.
Dead on, Paul.
