Wednesday: Supreme Court Candidate Forum

This Wednesday, candidates John Roach and Mary Noble will be participating in a forum at the UK College of Law. The details are below:

Wednesday, October 4, 2006
8:00pm - 9:30pm
UK College of Law, Court Room
620 S. Limestone
Lexington, KY

Most of the questions to be asked will have been written by students in PS 463, American Judicial Process, and reviewed by UK instructors. It ought to be very educational for the students, and could be for voters as well. Unlike previous election years, judges are now permitted to give their opinions about various issues like abortion and gun ownership. For good or ill, it's led to new public interest in judicial campaigns.

Since space in the room is limited, the hosts prefer that you RSVP. You can do this through Facebook (UK event ID #2211638653), or by contacting Jennifer Miller.

Now, for an aside:

Not to get too tacky, but if my last name were "Roach", I wouldn't make my Web site background or my bumper stickers the shade of brown Justice Roach has chosen. The color just helps the viewer make the connection the fellow's last name already suggests.

The layout of the bumper stickers also positively screams for some joker to print up a cockroach graphic and slap it on the blank brown space on the upper right hand corner. Hell, it's big enough for an Avery 5160 label.

Sir, you have enough problems promoting the name 'Roach' over 'Noble'. Don't add to your difficulties by emphasizing certain associations!
