I was up early this morning and just got off the radio, where I told you the whole story. Were you listening? KKOK/KMRS out of Morris, Minnesota? You get it every day with the weather and the farm report? Oh, OK, I’ll repeat myself. Tonight, Tuesday the 26th of February, at 6pm in the Common …

For my birthday? You shouldn’t have!
I just learned today about @MoFems and that they’re having a local conference on 9 March (yes, my birthday!): the F-Word Conference: What Role Do You Play in Redefining Gender and Culture?.

The campaign of lies is gearing up
Here’s what we Minnesotans get to look forward to on our TV screens for the next month, an ad against gay marriage. So their only argument is this “But they’re redefining marriage!” nonsense?
