Hello, blog audience. I love all 38 of you beautiful people. Especially you, person reading this right now. But I need to take a few days off to finish the first draft of my book, which was unofficially due about a month ago. I’ll post tidbits if I have time, but I might not be back until Thursday or Friday.
Meantime, I need you to do something for me, OK?
First, be strong. We’ll get through this.
Second, be sure to vote on the poll on the right hand column. Which Iron Ranger would have the best chance of winning a statewide election? Your choices are State Sen. Tom Bakk (DFL-Cook), State Rep. Tom Rukavina (DFL-Virginia), State Rep. and House Majority Leader Tony Sertich (DFL-Chisholm) and that guy who posts those crazy signs along Highway 53 south of Cotton (I?-South of Cotton). Bakk and Rukavina both say they’re exploring gubernatorial runs in 2010. They’re also running third and fourth, respectively, in the poll. Don’t worry guys, I’m sure that’s not an omen or anything. Sertich has declared no 2010 ambitions, but is often mentioned for higher office and is the #2 DFLer in the DFL House, the same job Gov. Pawlenty had before he was elected. Sertich is tied with the highway sign guy right now at 13 apiece, a fact that would probably appall both of them. Make your unscientific, nonbinding voice heard, blog friends!
Third, you still have time to contribute title ideas and lines of dialogue for the action movie featuring John McCain and Barack Obama as mismatched police detective partners and Hillary Clinton as the by-the-books precinct captain.
Fourth, e-mail me any potential metaphors or points of analysis regarding the Iron Range during times of war. You just might get your name in a book.
Fifth, if you dare, do a shot every time you see Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell on tonight’s cable coverage of the Mississippi Democratic Presidential Primary. (WARNING: This will probably kill you).
