Garrison’s Rant

Personally, I try to stay out of politics and ranting about the lack of good candidates running for President this year. But others make politics their livelihood and some love to rant about the Presidential race, so I’ll read what catches my interest and not normally go into it here on my own blog.

Along those lines, I did read an excellent rant by a notable figure, Garrison Keillor. You may know Keillor from his “Prairie Home Companion” show. I just love reading his weekly column in the Chicago Tribune. If nothing else, Keillor will make me laugh at least three or four times – often more – as I read his column.

So, this week, he writes about the election, and whether I agree with his opinion or not, I think you should read what he has to say. I hope you get a laugh from it like I did, and if you want to leave me a comment with your thoughts I’d like to read what you have to say about his article, too.

The “bums” try for an end run – by Garrison Keillor

Wind Power

For the little bit that I actually watch TV, the fact that I saw three commercials yesterday by T. Boone Pickens about his plan for bringing wind power to America is remarkable. From what I’ve heard so far, wind power makes sense if the geographic area has sustained winds of about 10+ mph.

Now, a clever guy in Petaluma by the name of Steve Rustad who draws cartoons has a good idea about wind power, too. If I did this link correctly you can see his idea here. Thanks, Steve!
