Interesting read showing cotton plantations (aka...slaves communities) pre-Civil War overlayed with how these same areas voted in the 2008 presidential election. Look who has the power now!

I Won't Tell You How to Vote
But I can't stop Molly. She's goin' rogue in these last few hours.
Suzanne forwarded a great article this morning from Donald Miller, the best-selling author of "Blue Like Jazz" and "Searching for God Knows What." If you have a few minutes, it's a refreshing read.
Regardless of who you vote for, just GO VOTE!
Tonight, I'm heading over to Mark, Suzanne and Luke's house for a pancake dinner. Growing up in Belton, you were expected to attend two events each year: the Fourth of July parade and the Rotary Club Pancake Supper. I have fond memories of me, Mark and Dad heading to Leon Heights Elementary every election day afternoon and unloading gallons and gallons of whole milk, pancake batter and enough greasy sausage to max out anyone's cholesterol. So to commemorate the pancake dinners of old, we're recreating the Rotary Club Dinner tonight at Pheasant Ridge. Skim milk has taken the place of whole; turkey bacon instead of sausage and the plush confines the James' living room instead of the cafeteria seats. I'm calling it "Pancakes for Pobama." Pictures and commentary from Luke James will follow later tonight.
Fired up, ready to go.

Ron Clark Academy: Part 2
The story and lyrics behind the song. I think we have a few future presidents, CEOs and congressmen/women in that group.
