Politics at the Fair
Sep. 1st, 2012 11:20 amWent to the State Fair Thursday looking for job leads (and because I haven't been in a few years.) No, not many job leads.
I was very hot, natch, so I wound up taking the Old Mill and Skyride rides, which are very reasonably priced and about as much excitement as I can handle these days.
Sat for a while in the 'CCO radio audience. The host joked that the potential record heat would make the next host's "top of the news" report basically write itself. Then they had Secretary of (Minnesota)State Mark Ritchey on to talk about the (Minnesota) Supreme Court decision to allow certain constitutional amendments go on the ballot as is. Mr. Ritchey remained calm and explained that that is, after all, the court's job, and his office needs to move forward now.
Had some rude audience members, and the host had to promise a audience questions segment to calm them down.
Missed the debate between Amy Klobuchar and the guy who's running against her for Senator. I hear it was good. While I think Senator Klobuchar is doing a good job, it's best for her not to get too comfortable about re-election. Spotted Senator Franken shaking hands, but the line was too long for the heat.
And to my surprise, the seed art exhibit in the Horticulture building was dotted with anti-marriage restriction pieces. One won Grand Reserve (second place.) Only saw one pro-marriage restriction sign, someone had plastered it on their baby's stroller.
Hope all of you are doing as well as can be expected as we go into September.
