I return, bearing the head of the dragon called First Draft

I still have to mop up the blood on the last essay, but I’ve had a good week of writing for my book of Iron Range essays and finally feel like I can dabble in the time vortex that is blogging.

Thanks to the person or persons who contributed so many fine lines of dialogue for the Obama/McCain cop movie. I think I have enough to write a good trailer now that I might share over the weekend. If anyone has more, jump in.

Also thanks to the many who continue to vote in the”Most plausible Range statewide candidate” Quick Poll on the right column. Tony Sertich appears to be leading as we enter the last day of voting, but he’s only got a few votes over the guy who posts the xenophobic signs along Highway 53 south of Cotton. (Watch out, T-Money, this guy lives in 5B). Bakk and Rukavina continue to chase the rainbow, but kudos to the Bakk camp for your late surge. It’s not over yet. I’ll decipher the results when the last votes are cast Friday afternoon.

Also over the weekend I’ll review the Range, state and national news that I’ve missed. Friday I’ll post my preview of the Itasca County and SD 05 DFL conventions and Saturday night I’ll tell you if I was right or not. It would appear that, in regard to the Democratic presidential nomination race, certain candidates (I won’t name names) have decided to poop in the pool during the water polo championship and that we have to keep playing anyway. Hooray! I didn’t want my faith in American politics to be restored anyway. As an educated white male under 30 I need to wait and see how my demo performs in suburban Pittsburgh before I know what I’m supposed to think about this whole ordeal. (Confidential to Mark Penn: I drink BEER you overpaid hack!)

Oh, and there’s a legislature here in Minnesota that is apparently in something called a session. I sure hope Viceroy Pawlenty suppresses this nonsense and lowers my sales tax by a tenth of a penny on the dollar. Think of all the extra things I could buy over a vast, incalculable amount of time!

Glad to be back!
