eh, because it's tuesday.

i could write something big and epic today, but it would just end up being soapboxy. I've had leon too much this week, which means that i listen to too much air america while i drive around st. paul. now, while i find this concept delightful and AP-like squeals of joy can probably be heard outside my car when i realize that it's 11 o'clock in the morning, i have a good 20 minutes of car time and the al franken show is on. however, it just gets me fired up and then i just end up preaching to the choir, since the only real conservatives i know are my parents...and that's just counterproductive...especially when i start screeching.

this evening was especially screechy due to the fact that the trib ran a lovely lil' article about some nimrods who worked at two snyder's locations in the twin cities and refused to fill birth control prescriptions because they felt that it was morally wrong.

don't even get me started. i thought that only happened in the bible belt. sheesh. these folks need to understand that one medication can be used for a multitude of uses.

okay. i have to stop before i ramble. it's one thing to screech in person, but on paper is just to ramble.

on the plus side...i'm happy to announce that the marshall field's saga is complete...which means that tomorrow is drug test story day! complete with visuals! so...see, there is something to look forward to.

now i leave with a parting interesting fact to think about: apparently some dude who had been mute for 9 years started speaking yesterday. i thought about it and realized that i can't even be quiet for 30 minutes, let alone 9 entire years. that's some friggin' perseverance, i tell you what.
