This one’s been sitting in an unclosed browser tab all week, waiting to get posted:
What they were looking for, Carroll says, was an informant—someone to show up at “vegan potlucks†throughout the Twin Cities and rub shoulders with RNC protestors, schmoozing his way into their inner circles, then reporting back to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, a partnership between multiple federal agencies and state and local law enforcement.
You know, I’m not entirely clear on how vegan correlates with terrorists, but I’m clear on who’s been terrorizing potlucks in Minnesota – those people that bring jello fruit salads (sorry, Grandma).

Tony Blair has probably been the greatest political disappointment of my life, but I’d still like to ask Israel to please not blow him out of the sky. He’s trying to help, you know.

I’m off into the mountains this weekend, the sort of place that Sprint just won’t go. So after this and a couple other posts, I’m done until Monday. In case you find yourself with any extra time to poke around, I want to recommend two blogs that I read regularly, and should link more often:
- Chicago Dyke (at Corrente) is very smart and very funny. And I’m not even lying when I say that. Proof of that is right here.
- SuperFrenchie – while the posts themselves are always interesting (well, except for that recent one where he gave oxygen that that monster that should be killed – Eurovision), it’s the commenters’ conversations that follow that I find so compelling. I almost always learn something new and interesting in every thread I spend time in. I don’t think there are too many places you can say that about.
Oh, and just because, I leave you with what could be (but was not) a Eurovision entry. Give her a minute to get going:

What was that from??? Fabulous! Heh.

Hey, that was a guest post. I know nothing about the Eurovision contest. Nothing!
OK, let me correct that: I knew nothing. Until the post, at which time I learned that Celine Dion competed for Switzerland, even though she is Canadian.
I feel much smarter for it!

Joy, that was from Everybody’s Famous. Belgian. Well worth Netflix’ing. If you would have been within a few miles of me barreling down Grindstone Mountain this weekend, you might have heard me singing “Lucky Manuelo”

Superfrenchie, you’re judged by the company you keep. Lucky for you that some of your commenters are so smart that they make up for a Eurovision post. Add Celine to the mix, though, and you might be sunk.
