McCain, Obama face off in chess.
Happy Friday! A friend, who happens to be two-time women’s National Chess Champ Jennifer Shahade, just launched this fictional (very clever) online chess game between McCain and Obama.
Jennifer writes:
September Surprise! Instead of tonight’s scheduled debate, Barack Obama and John McCain will face off in a chess game. And what a match up it will be!
Regardless of your political stance, I think you’ll get a kick out of it.
Why am I writing about this? Well, as it turns out, Jennifer’s not the only Ms. Smarty Pants in her family. Her mom, a chemistry professor at Drexel University, founded Science-in-Motion. “SIM, for short, brings top of the line science equipment to Philadelphia public schools that can’t afford it,” Jennifer writes on her blog . “The goal of SIM is to get kids excited about science. It works: While waiting for the presentation start, most of the kids were texting or zoning out, but by the end everyone was totally fixated on the show.”
If you’d like to learn more, kindly contact SIM.
Cheers!

McCain getting back into the debate is a purely political move, like everything else he does… it’s not that he wants to inform Americans or demonstrate his know-how, he just thought thought not showing up to the debates would make him look bad
