This week's Ask a ScienceBlogger:

What's the most important local political race to you this year (as a citizen, as a scientist)?...

I want to Harlold Ford Jr. to win in Tennessee to show that there's no harm in a man of color having a taste for white women. This is personal, I want my life choices to be validated! (and hey, if a pink-facedhigh yellow brother like Harold is raising eyebrows what does that say about Mr. Cinnamon adding a little flavor to whole milk?)
