i think the fair needs to have a variety of acts at the grandstand. Although I will say that the country acts this year were more appealing than some in the past. Someone like Smokey Robinson or Peter Noone from Herman's Hermits or Etta James. or any other genre than country.

I have fond memories of the food at the Freeborn County Fair. The first thing my grandma(all five foot four inches and 100 pounds soaking wet) would do was buy and devour a footlong hotdog with onions. Then onion rings, then mini-donuts, then a corn dog, then cotton candy, all kinds of treats while she and my aunt (shorter and the same weight) would play lions bingo. When my grandpa and I and some of my friends were done with the rides, seeing the livestock, etc. we would meet my grandma and aunt and go to the building where one of the churches served meals. The two of them would each get a roast beef commericial with extra potatoes and gravy and then have pie! My friends and I, who were younger and heavier, would turn green at the amount of food those two little gals could eat! When asked how they could eat so much and not get sick, they would reply, "Because the food always taste better at the fair!" It has been about twenty five years since we were all at the fair together, but I still smile and laugh thinking of them. I hope heaven has just as good food as the fair as they are together there now. Wish I could be down there this year. Have a "pronto pup" or corn dog for me!:)

The DNR doesn't get Bear Lake at all. Since the time of my great-grandpa being game warden and they lowered it and made it a "duck lake", Bear Lake has been mistreated by the DNR. Those of us who lived by it, especially my grandpa and others, have fought to save that wonderful lake. I hope those still living by it will fight to save Bear Lake from the DNR and their ideas. Or else Bear Lake might just be a memory.

Virginian: I also watch Fox News and Bill O'Reilly. Ed Schulz is a radio talk show host from Minnesota. I was raised by someone who read all sides of the issues and we also watched William F. Buckley on PBS in the late 70's, the show was called Firing Line. I also read National Review, The Progressive, Reader's Digest, Rolling Stone, The American Progressive. I read Huffington Post and The Drudge Report. I have found that labels such as conservative and liberal are of very little use. I also worked for many years with many severely disabled people, and from that experience, as well testifying to the legislature in 2003 about the needs of these people, who were the first cut in the 03 Pawlenty budget, I came to believe that medical care is the most important thing that we can't lose.
As for calling Rachel Maddow a clone of Keith Olberman, that is rather short sighted of you. Rachel is a Rhodes Scholar and a Phd. in Political Science. Also you are wrong when saying Olberman has never had a conservative on his program. He has had on conservative columnist Clarence Page from the Chicago Tribune and several times has had on Pat Buchanan, he has also had Cronyn on from Texas--who said the republicans would start World War III if Al Franken was elected. He is a conservative, but quite ignorant to refer to the republican protest of the election of Franken to such a heinous event as a world war.
Liberal or conservative does not mean much, I prefer for people to use their common sense on issues. And as for Pawlenty being the one to speak to the senatorial race, it is not his place to do so, with the exception of explaining why he will not sign the certification. That interview should have been done with the the Secretary of State, who would have also been able to discuss what the process was. Surely you can't be convinced that Pawlenty is not using some of this national press coverage to get himself known on a national level. Senator McCain continually brings him up--just a few weeks ago on Meet The Press, among other programs and publications. I tend to believe that each of has a responsibility for ourselves and for those around us. As I stated before labels are just the perception of others. Not in the least useful or scientific.

Virgianian: Last week, Governor Tim Pawlenty was on The Rachel Maddow Show, I believe it was either Tuesday, April 7 or Wednesday, April 8, discussing the senatorial fiasco here in Minnesota. In previous weeks, he was on Hardball with Chris Matthews as well as during their afternoon news with either Contessa Brewer or David Schuster. On Monday, April 13, he was on with Ed Schultz at 5pm on The Ed Schultz Show on MSNBC. Yes I have facts to back up my statement. I would not write in otherwise.

cuts to medical for the disabled, cuts in education. He also seems to spend a great deal of time campaigning on MSNBC and FOX News for his 2012 presidential campaign. Of course, he is talking about the senatorial race and other issues, but what great free advertising for him. He is just another slick political creep.
