I was introduced to the Doner (Gyro or Kabob) during my time in Germany. The Turkish immigrants brought it with them. Aside from the thinly-sliced lamb, the rest of the ingredients were German; cabbage inside stuffed in a quarter of the circular flatenbrot. In Minneapolis, there’s only one place to get a good gyro – …

On a tip from Sam Buchanan, I put together MNRep, aggregating the votes of Minnesota’s Congressional Representatives from the Washington Posts’ Congress Votes Database. Quick and dirty. Probably a lot like the votes themselves. 😉
My mom has this great collection of 45s. I remember spending some fantastic afternoons as a kid spinning Joan Jett, the Beatles, and so many other classics.

Next time don’t turn them away. Three notes to President Bush; Good job on not giggling during your speech. I’m sure it …
I’m grabbing a late morning coffee at the Dunn Bros in downtown St. Paul. Like all Dunn Bros, this is a great place for eavesdropping (surpassed only by the Nicollet Mall location). The gentlemen next to me are have a very in-depth political current events discussion. Considering the low number of good coffee shops between …

Newsweek’s How Bush Blew it is only the latest report that Bush’s public distant, giggly, good-buddy facade covers a cold, distant, shoot-the-messenger defensiveness. Makes me wonder what it would take to get one of these rumored tirades recorded and distributed around the internets. Watching the authentic, backstage Bush go off, unprotected by co-dependent Telephone Sanitizers, …
