kwatt: Heh! Going to a real Minnesota wedding today — a coworker is getting married. The dinner/reception is at the Dellwood Hills Golf Course. When they went up there to check it out, another wedding reception was just wrapping up — for Jesse Ventura’s daughter (Jade?).

Point taken that during the campaign he let this slide. It was something he was outspoken about a year or two before the campaign. But the statement “He has said he is reluctant to switch to a ’single-payer’ national health insurance system because of the difficulty in making a quick transition from the employer-based private system.” reads to me like he *wants* single-payer – as he openly did a few years ago – but simply finds the possibility unfeasible. In any case, I don’t think there’s much question as to what Obama would do if he knew congress would be fully cooperative. And I still don’t see why it matters that he won’t “admit” this. And I still haven’t seen one suggestion on how the issue should actually be handled from a conservative in the last six months.

You’d think they’d allow all cameras so people can snap photos to show their friends that the team still exists.

At this point, I don’t think the Timperwolves could afford to turn ANY fan away, ryanl.

I’m going to the T-Pups tonight and I was wondering…anybody here had luck bringing a DSLR Camera like a Canon Rebel into shoot the action?

The target center says they don’t allow “professional” cameras.

Someone in the world must love the fact that Keith Urban sucks.

Both parties agree on one thing: Keith Urban sucks.
