Top 13 Ways Oxford Can Replace the Debate

Now that John McCain is cutting and running from the first debate, the town of Oxford is left bursting at the seams with people, reporters, and lots of extra food, booze and energy. So, the JFP staff decided to them out and come up with alternative activities for Friday evening.

1. Pick-up Ultimate Frisbee between the Gay-Straight Alliance and the College Republicans.
2. Get high and roll Rowan Oak.
3. Stage a 50-meter dash to the Chevron for chicken-on-a-stick.
4. An NRA-sponsored Great Liberal Hunt. Grand Master Dick Cheney.
5. A March for Beer from Oxford to Memphis.
6. The Presidential Pakistani Pub Pounce.
7. A bacchanalian push to bump the University of Florida out of first place for party school.
8. Inflatable Sumo Wrestling Match (to the strains of "Dixie," just for effect.)
9. Civil War Re-enactment: Haley Barbour leads the graying rebels against the "blue" liberals of The New York Times. Khayat plays Lincoln.
10. All the media meet at the Grove and then fan out around the state, looking for a Klansman.
11. The Ross Barnett Memorial Scavenger Hunt.
12. Oxford Fashion Week, Sarah Palin Edition (Mass makeovers on the Square! The tallest bouffant wins!)
13. A Revival of the Fittest, St. James Version.

They can make a McCain penata and beat it until lies pour out.

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: it's not enough to just study something - at some point you have to act. Systematic exclusion can be read as hatred, even when those involved in it do not feel it to be that. This is ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
J.T.: Wintrhop, your last sentence "I don't want a small and manageable God. I prefer one that I can't fully understand." bears out that we each have perceptions of God. And, when the ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Wintrhop Sargent: Funny you should mention the gender issue of a deity. I was at lunch with a St. Andrews priest one time and a very conservative member of the Cathedral came to our table ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...

[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
ladd: A fail-safe principle I've always sworn by: If the Kluckers agree with me about something, I need to rethink it.

[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
Goldenae: I would truly be ashamed of myself if I looked at life and others the way the some people do. Some folks can not put themselves in another person's shoes to save their lives. It is ...

Barbour Wants to Merge State's Black Universities
Goldenae: Why is it so hard to understand that regardless of what we would like to think, there are different standards. That is quite obvious in Barbour's suggestion of ...
