Here’s the awesome interactive video and transcript of Senators John McCain and Barack Obama debating in Oxford, Mississippi on September 26th, from the New York Times.
Even if you have already seen the debate, this is a cool way to target points in the transcript you want to rewatch — find them in the text, click, and you’ll be taken to that point in the video! How cool is that?!?
Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, Ralph (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, plays a supporting role on the blog -- she's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. Ralph and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...
