It's the first day of school here in Minnesota and I'm jealous. I'm jealous that I don't have a new backpack and that I didn't get to ride to work in a bus with a bunch of my friends. I'm jealous of the tater tots in the cafeteria, the afternoon naps in Walter Library and the frisbee games on the mall. I'm jealous that I don't get cheap sports tickets and that I don't get to loft my bed or have a crush on the girl at the desk next to mine. (Sorry, Colin, you're not my type.)

To be sure, there were plenty of things about school that sucked, but I won't poison the nostalgia with reality.

Heard on MPR and verified on his website:

"My name is Richard Klatte and my campaign slogan is 'I'm a tree hugger with a gun'"

My name is Dave Cecchi and my sneaking suspicion is that you're a wacko and you won't get many votes.

A couple of people wrote to me saying they were having problems watching the Triumph video from the other day. It's way easier if you save it to your machine first and then watch it. Do this by 'right-clicking' on the link and choosing 'Save target as'. Real good, then.
