"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Heads Up


'In the multimedia presentation “Game Day and God: Football, Faith, and Politics in the American South," Eric Bain-Selbo, chair of Religion and Philosophy at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania, will focus on the fans’ experience at major college football games throughout the South. He subjects the sights and sounds of the spectacle that is Southern college football to a multidisciplinary investigation that sheds light on the sacred dimensions and religious functions of the game day experience -- an experience shared by other fans throughout the country but also one that has a distinctive Southern flavor.

The free presentation will be at 7 Wednesday night in 125 ten Hoor Hall on the University of Alabama campus. It is sponsored by the Departments of American Studies and Religious Studies and by the College of Arts and Sciences.'
