Alright folks, what are you in the mood for this weekend?
If you’re feeling….the sudden urge to make football related snacks

If you’re feeling…political
Check out the NYTs take on how we’re talking about Wendy Davis and her life (and parenting) choices.

GP bloggers Lance and Tammy have both written excellent pieces on the status of creationism in schools. Raw Story reports that 4 states have introduced pro-creationism bills this year: South Dakota (on Wednesday), Missouri, Oklahoma and Virginia.
If you’re feeling….skeptical

If you’re feeling….philosophical

If you’re feeling….artsy

If you’re feeling….like you need more science in your life but you don’t have time to skim through everything looking for the good stuff

If you’re feeling….aged beyond your years
This quiz calculates your age in mom years...though I have no idea why it should be mom specific. Any Dad going through this should get credit too! I stopped counting at 121 or so…being reminded of the time my little one actually spit up right in to my mouth gave me the sudden urge to go brush my teeth and rinse my mouth out.
If you’re feeling….in the mood for some activism
