Rep. Paul Kohls pass this bill. The mother and unborn child who were killed on HWY 5 in Victoria couple of years ago were killed by a first time DWI offender. The more we can protect people from drunk drivers the better, if the family of the drunk driver is effected too bad, it might stop their enabeling.

Your cake looks delicious, Unsie. On the topic of Bundt cakes, have you ever watched the show "Brothers and Sisters"? The character played by Rachel Griffith is always baking a Bundt cake to bring to family gatherings... where the family members always get into loud and screaming arguments.

I hated the character "Julie." Snobby and pretentious. Just like the girls she keeps meeting for the Cobb Salad Lunch. The only reason she hates the lunch so much because she hasn't got anything to brag about. Saw the real "Julie" on one of the talk shows. Very pleased with herself and she'll be happy to tell you why.

How can I get you to bake and deliver a cake to me?

I was fascinated by your ghost story and now I want more. Anyways, I do believe that they do exist and every where we go they are there. I also experience paranormal things most often like hearing voices, seeing silhouttes of a white figure, and having goose bumps all the time, but have accepted it and just learned to live with it.
Maybe sometime I could join your team of ghost hunting for experience and adventure. Love the post and thanks for the lovely share. mesa locksmith

St. Paul (June 16, 2009) —

St. Paul (June 16, 2009) — The Minnesota DFL Party released the following statement from Associate Chair Donna Cassutt:

“This spring, the Legislature put forward a responsible, balanced budget that cut government spending and sought to raise permanent revenue to solve Minnesota’s financial crisis and revive our struggling economy. Legislators visited with Minnesotans all over the state to hear concerns and gather their input of how to best address this crisis and put Minnesotans back to work. But instead of working with the Legislature, the Governor — with the full support of Republican legislators — ignored their balanced budget and failed to negotiate honestly.

In short, Governor Pawlenty and the Republicans failed Minnesota — and today, Minnesota’s working families are paying the price of their failure. In slavish adherence to the same failed philosophy that drove America into recession — not to mention his own ambition — Pawlenty and the Republicans have embarked on the arrogant, reckless, and potentially illegal path of unallotment that will hurt hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans — and drive Minnesota’s economy even further into a hole.

In the middle of the deepest recession in three decades, it is unconscionable that Governor Pawlenty and the Republicans would cut Minnesotans’ police and fire protection, damage our hospitals, kick Minnesotans off healthcare, and further dim our children’s future rather than do their jobs and negotiate in good faith with the legislative majority.

The governor admits his cuts and deferrals were ‘targeted’—sadly, those targeted clearly include our most vulnerable: those living in poverty, the disabled, children, and seniors. And Pawlenty knows it.

The Republican actions today — which will lead to higher property taxes, fewer hospitals and worse healthcare — will push Minnesota’s families off the economic cliff.

While President Obama is boldly leading America to a safer, more prosperous future, Tim Pawlenty and the Republicans are making a last, desperate stand in Minnesota for the failed philosophy that America has rejected. But make no mistake — today is indeed their last stand.”

What wonderful girls. They worked hard at selling cookies so they could earn money to buy food to donate to the food shelf. They should be very proud of themselves!

I'm kind of frustrated with the Web site and how clunky it is to navigate. Why is it so user-unfriendly? Must I take a class in order to use it?

I find it heartbreaking, how many Barbies and Tammys and Revlon dolls, etc. fell victim to younger sibling abuse. A sad, sad thing.
