And this from the Matriarch

Thanks to Jered, my newly New Yorkan friend, for pointing this out to me. Barbara Bush was quoted as saying the following (sourced from Boing Boing):
This is working very well for them. (…)Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we’re going to move to Houston.
“What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all [...]

This is preposterous! Who would have the gaul to steel one of only four remaining pairs of the very ruby red slippers Judy Garland wore during the filming of The Wizard of Oz?!
The following taken from the esteemed Mesabi Daily News, out of Virginia, Minnesota:

Miss Ellie is gone forever

Poor Miss Ellie, dead at 82 of lung cancer.
She was probably the only character on Dallas who was rarely angry. Never involved in any of the scandals (she did give John Ross back to Sue Ellen, afterall), and always the voice of reason. How could you not like her?
She was preceded [...]

How lame ARE we?

Lindsey Lohan is in town to shoot A Parie Home Companion. Sure she’s in the spotlight at the moment, but the Strib makes us sound like the biggest small town in America. This morning they had this photo on their website:

Accompanied by this caption:

I wonder if this kid is going to get away with this again. After being busted a few years back for selling cable decoders, he was asked to pay back $60,000 of approximately $385,000 he made.
Now he’s made in excess of $18 million and he hasn’t even been charged with a crime [...]

I guess the light that shone on Microsoft was too bright - they caved and announced they will support gay rights. It’s too bad they flip-flopped around on this issue, but I do think it’s great that such a big money corporation is willing to publicly state they support gay rights. Bravo, Microsoft.

Out Front on HIV

I’m glad to see that the Strib is still covering the story involving Rep Emmer and his bill to eliminate state funding for MAP. This story in particular really highlights all of the efforts MAP has made over the last 22 years.
Bravo, Strib & Warren Wolfe!

Republicans targetting M.A.P.

M.A.P. is a state-level nonprofit organization that’s been active in the community since 1983. Their website at www.mnaidsproject.org states their mission as:
Our mission is to lead Minnesota’s fight to stop HIV and enhance the well-being of those affected.
Pretty admirable if you ask me.
I know some of the folks involved over there and [...]
