Duke, Debates and Denial

Duke is out. I am a little surprised at how many people are excited about this. I know that it is standard to hate Duke, but now that they are not elite, everyone is coming out of the wood works. It has gotten so bad that even my own Father, who is a lifelong hater of Duke, was pulling for them because so many people picked them to lose. Well, its over, and its sad. It does not destroy my bracket, but does make me unhappy.
It looks like Wallis vs. Dobson may be a go. Dobson has agreed to let his VP take part in the debate, and Wallis has balked, saying he wants Dobson. Wallis also says he has several Christian Universities who would be happy to host the event (maybe they could raise some money for poor people-if poor people really exist). Dobson's reason for not accepting the debate himself? He is taking the next two years to write a book on child rearing. If this book comes out and its just a revised edition of Dare to Discipline or Raising a Strongwilled Child, I am going to shoot someone.
Earlier this week Abby and I put an offer in on a house. That offer was rejected outright, which apparently is a bit uncommon. Anyway, we have chosen not change our offer, so we are once again on the outside of the house buying industry. It feels pretty good.

someone needs to challenge you to a debate over the great moral evil of shooting people that you clearly love and support. we could get a local chapter of the NRA to host the debate, but i will be unable to be the debate guy who argues with you because i will be writing my book on child rearing titled, "bullets and the bible: the only two things a parent needs to prep their children to take their nation for Jesus".
