My Grandpa had an interesting thought about Governor James Vanos, aka Jesse Ventura. He thinks someone should drill a hole through Ventura's skull, dump in a bunch of sawdust, and plug the hole. He figures that ought to raise Jesse's IQ by several points.

I have to agree- I'm pretty sure that sawdust IS smarter than that arrogant, rude idiot whose gubernatorial term is up next year.

A little something from Sunday's paper (I just read it online, so I'm usually a day ahead.)

Sometimes, you really do have to be careful with word choice... Someone called the reader representative at the Star Tribune, and the following response was printed:

Several readers suggested that word selection might have caused some to wonder if a Travel section item last Sunday about a large green statue in Blue Earth belonged in a health-care article.

It said, "The governor, Miss Minnesota and Miss America were on hand to watch the erection of the giant."

(For those not familiar, "Green Giant" is a brand of frozen and canned vegetables. They have a processing plant in Blue Earth, where the company started.)
