Al Franken
We had a good time up in Duluth, MN, at the Duluth Labor Temple. It was a fundraiser for Wellstone Action (note correct title). This September they are going to be opening a six acre memorial for Paul & Sheila & the others that died in the plane crash. It was great to be around so many progressive, like-minded people. There were MN politicians, the mayor of Ashland, WI, union members & Al Franken who gave a great talk. He became quite choked up when talking about Paul Wellstone. It was good to see someone act like a normal person when discussing such a sad situation. We also had some good Mexican food & I met the nephew of Gus Hall.
Another Road Trip
We're off to see Al Franken in Duluth, MN. It would be great to have a couple of runaway brides with us, but we're not Republicans. We're a couple of old, fat guys. Franken will be at the Duluth Labor Temple for a benefit for the Wellstone Foundation. It ought to be fun & it will be good to be around like-minded people. If my partner-in-crime does anything foolish, I'll document it with pictures & post them tomorrow. Man, going to Duluth seems big time, must---get---a---life.
Roman Catholic Dress Code?
Real nice church you've got there, fella. Any wonder why their numbers are tanking.
History Belongs To The Winners, Right?
This from an article in the Times today. I, frankly, don't know if the Russians were asked or did occupy. What I do know is that 20 million Russians died on the side of the Allies in WWII. Anyway, a chilling bit of "truth-telling by the Bush administration. Yes, only Bushco can speak the truth, everyone else is lying. Emphasis added.
Daniel Fried, assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, went further with reporters on Air Force One, saying that the only "true narrative" of World War II is "ours" and that what the Russians "don't like to remember is what they were doing from 1939 to 1941."

Oh, Man
I guess I'll just have to throw my new novel about George Bush being the 666th anti-Christ into the dumpster. This always happens to me. Another novel I had to throw away way about how George McGovern became President & helped turn America into a kind, loving, tolerant country who actually gave a crap about kids, health care, clean air & water, slick & healthy trout, & birds without twisted bills. Why does stuff like like this happen to me? Jeez.
Take That Kansas
This is the second "missing link" fossil find reported this week. I think if I had it to do all over, I'd like to be a fossil guy. No cracks about how I'm already a fossil, you morons.
I Mean, Wholly Crap
A commenter on a post from a Dr. Perry, MD, psychoanalyst, about how throwing pies at the idiotic Ann Coulter will lead the left to all become Tim McVeigh's. See below. Hey, it's like marijuana leading to heroin. Or was that mother's milk leading to marijuana leading to heroin. Cripes, where's the Herbsaint? Via World O'Crap, one of my favorite blogs. Don Imus will be really upset about this Manchurian Candidate thing. He may obsess on it.
Communist sleeper cells are being deployed. The Manchurian Candidate (John McCain) is doing his best to stiffle free speech. The party-of-death is doing its last dance before dying.
Approaching 500
So I'm thinking of some sort of prize for the 500th visitor. Maybe a t-shirt with one of those slashed circles with a picture of some local loser. Or maybe an all expense paid trip to Alaska, oh wait a minute, that's apparently already been done. Maybe the old reliable Jazz Fest 2006? No, I've got it. If I can identify the 5ooth visitor, that person will win his/her choice of any red meat sandwich at the Black Cat in Ashland, WI. Of course, in the case of a tie, I am the sole arbiter of who wins. & I'm a mean guy. Later, gator.
