A couple things

The story I'd rather ignore involving a newly elected school board member in Minneapolis made front page news in the Star Tribune this morning.

Former Jesse Ventura campaign manager Doug Friedline passed away yesterday.

It appears Peter Hutchinson is ready to do it all over again in 2010, and run for Governor with the Independence party a second time. Given his campaign staff have yet to attach themselves to other politicians this would be huge news for the Independence party going forward.
