i’ve made it through the night to live another day. i am about to leave for work at this ungodly hour of the morning, mostly because i have roughly 184 things to get done today– but only 3 meetings so maybe i can get them done.
i’m going to do my best to ignore the ignoring, [...]

no potato juice
while listening to soul coughing do “the coffee song” i nearly, almost, sort, kinda smiled during the line “coffee pickles way out sell the dill.” but then i remembered i was at work and that i’m frustrated and being ignored which leads my mind to jump to all sorts of conclusions, so then my eyes [...]

another political brouhaha
Republicans decry service as partisan reports the Strib. After last night’s political rally err, memorial Republicans must be freaking out. I mean, really the DFL got like a 3 hour, primetime commercial free! And really i don’t blame them for being a bit upset. But, i think if the shoe were on the other foot [...]

paul and diana are on now talking about the memorial and even they agree that the memorial turned into “an open and blatant liberal rally.”
regardless, paul’s son mark got up to speak and he was so personable and passionate, it was heartbreaking and wonderful all at the same time. amazing really.

how sad
i’m still tuning in to the Wellstone memorial and they’ve got this guy, rick kahn, i believe giving his little speech. the speech was supposed to be a eulogy of sorts for senator wellstone– at least that’s what i thought.
instead it’s turn into a rallying campaign sort of speech and the whole time i’m listening [...]

Wellstone!
watching the Wellstone memorial is probably not such a great idea. it’s just turning me into this goobering, snotting blob on the couch and i really have so much to do and i can’t tear myself away.
so far the speakers have been good choosing ol’ george latimer as the sort of host to the [...]
