Please note that Michele Bachmann spells her name with 1 L (and two Ns). I have been dismayed of late to note repeated errors of the sort that a diligent proof-reader should have caught in MinnPost.

How about "I don't listen to the radio, But I Read MinnPost"?

It is my hope that when the new health care reform legislation is fully implemented, the hate-and scare-mongers will no longer be listened to and people will be thrilled to discover real benefits to their lives.

By the way, anyone wishing to know the whole history of the Koch brothers should read Jane Mayer's article, "Covert Operations," in the current NEW YORKER.

Posted on 08/28/10 at 04:04 pm in response to Memorable movie quotes: This time, we're up to six magic words -- and a quiz

Isn't "That'll do, pig. That'll do" only five words? Or are you counting differently than I would?

Thank you for the link, Mr. Brandon (#29). A very enlightening account of the ages-old debate on what Cordoba was really like and the uses to which those views have been put over the years.

Totally agree with you (and thousands of New Yorkers, according to a poll I took online yesterday) about the Muslin Community Center. And hey! do I ever agree with you about Thomas Kinkade...

Agreed - great analysis, Doug. MinnPost is the best - only - place to find out what's really happening.

And agreed - anybody who picks up John Gunyou as part of his campaign is just being smart.

"Dancing at Lughnasa" was made into a movie in 1998, starring Meryl Streep.

This is fun! My book club, which has been existence about 20 years now (we all went to high school together), has read #s 1, 3, & 5. (I personally have read the other two, but would probably not have gotten the rest of the book club to agree to them as choices.) This month we are reading Oliver Sacks' latest, MUSICOPHILIA; he's a favorite of ours.
