A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to Work

I decided to take a different route to work today. I was running a little late (as usual) and decided to avoid the backed up freeway.  As I was winding my way through Edina, I saw a pile of Republican lawn signs by the side of the road. Since I didn't have my digital camera with me and was already late for work, I continued on. However, I have emailed MDE since he recently made the local news with his video of an Ashwin Madia campaign worker removing and attempting to trash Erik Paulsen campaign signs. There were both Paulsen and Norm Coleman signs in the pile that I drove by. Since they were laying flat on the ground, I doubt they were just poorly displayed.

Talk Like a Pirate Day 2008

Believe it or not, one of my most popular posts is Pirate as a Second Language which was originally posted September 18, 2006.  Since Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19th, I thought this would be a good time to revisit the whole subject. For those of you who either don't know how to talk like a pirate or are a little rusty, this tutorial will help you get up to speed for the big day.

Full Betancourt Interview

Former FARC hostage, Ingrid Betancourt, is interviewed by NBC's Ann Curry. I found the interview quite interesting. In the full interview, Betancourt discusses how her faith sustained her and how God answered her prayer. Needless to say, not much of that part of the interview made it "on air".

Scalia on Charlie Rose

It's a little long, but worth it. After all, it is Scalia.
