Not a lot of people get a second chance. Just you, and probably Obama.

I would love to forget about her. I really, really would. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with our sixth district.

In more Minnesota news because I know it's what everyone wants, the Michele Bachmann - Jim Graves race had a five-point gap a little earlier tonight. Bachmann's still up 50.7 - 49.3. Can you imagine how painful the next two years would be without insinuations that Democrats cause swine flu epidemics, vaccines cause…

They called Minnesota for Obama. I remember the five minutes when they put Minnesota on the waitlist for the waitlist for the waitlist for the swing states. That was funny.

(Confession time about my own half-ass investment: every year I say I'm going to learn about our school board, learn who's running for dog catcher of the township, learn, oh, a little something about our state legislature, and yet I never do. The whole second page of the ballot consisted only of such races and so I…

I need to go to the store. But the cat is sitting on my lap. All my decisions and actions need to be based on what the cats want. I wonder who they want me to vote for.

Re #4: Creepy.

Whoa! I'm seeing sextuple! 36 polar bears.

What would Ira Glass say?

We interrupt your death metal to bring you some heavy news. All the good Christians got raptured up to heaven, so if you're hearing this, the good news is, you're the coolest people in the world. The bad news is, the world is over.

While I can understand why this story took off, if we were to pick apart her body of work, we would almost certainly drown in a sea of similar provocations. I think the best course of action is for us to just pretend, as a society, that Ann Coulter doesn't exist. She feeds off of our outrage. I say we, in turn, get…

Today on NPR I heard Kerry Miller interview Errol Morris. Don't worry…they didn't have anything to address.

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it

SPLIT PEA it is. That cool? Feel better.
