This week, we go elbows deep into some political talk — ranging from the Obama-McCain debate to the local races for Lee County Commissioner and State Representative. You’ll also find:
• World’s fattest man dies. We do not know why.
• 2nd Century Project’s big event
• The Rant’s increasing popularity among the higher-ups
• The wonderful, wonderful stock market
• Bruce Hornsby’s little eyes

I am a 33-year-old newspaper editor and radio show host living in Sanford, North Carolina. I have been editor at the Sanford Herald since February, 2007, and I've been in newspapers since 1999. I married my college sweetheart Jennifer in 2003, and today, we're the proud parents of a little girl, Hayley Alexandra (born Oct. 3, 2009) plus an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and year-old Labernese.
