Mnemonic Devices and the Governor of the Week
I'm not a little disappointed that the charges against Governor Rod Blagojevich of Illinois who purported to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat to the highest bidder have pushed the recent transgressions of Governor Tim Pawlenty out of the news, even here in Minnesota.
Sarah Palin, Sock Puppet. Coincidence that they have the same initials?
The McCain campaign has taken Obama to task for supposedly saying Sarah Palin will do what she's told. I can't say whether anyone really said that Palin will do what she's told, but the evidence of her appearance with Charlie Gibson on ABC certainly suggests she SAYS what she's told.
When Gibson asked her if she would back Israel if Israel were to attack Iran's nuclear facilities she said, "I don’t think that we should second-guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves."

The Big Bad GLBT pages
In case you haven't heard, The Rake recently published a Guide Book to the Twin Cities. So far, we've sold a couple thousand copies, including a few to some of the Republican Convention delegates. Actually, we don't have any way of knowing that for sure, but we surmise that at least a couple of them might have seen it in the book stores and were getting tired of hotel food.
The Wisdom of the Car Buying Masses
Just when I thought it was safe to cancel my Strib subscription, they surprise me and put something on the front page that actually 1) contains information that I care about; 2) contains information that elucidates a larger story; and 3) nudges at least one piece of television-like spot news dreck out of the paper. (Actually, I’m only guessing about point number 3.)
