Lori Erickson set a goal for this summer and fall: Buy no produce. That doesn’t mean she won’t be eating veggies. She’ll be growing them — all of them — on her small city lot in northeast Minneapolis.

Homegrown heats up

Congrats to Lori(ka) Erickson on her great press!

Bush has no regrets, neither does Angelina (good interview)! She doesn’t even regret the vial of blood. How do you feel about the idea of … “no regrets”??

Don’t ever say that “white” people can’t dance. Race has nothing to do with being able to dance. Further, many European-Americans are among the best dancers in the world (perhaps THE best..such things are hard to quantify).

Just because you are not athletic and look foolish on the dance floor doesn’t give you the right to implicate the whole of European heritiage and culture in your shame.
— An email I recently received from an angry white person who, I’m guessing, is a GREAT dancer. LOL!!!

Angel Arce Torres 35 Park St. Hartford, Connecticut Hit And (via voltagerocks)

WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS VIOLENT AND DISTURBING

This hit-and-run happened in my home state. I’m just sick about it. What does it say about our society if not one person would stop traffic for a person hit by a car? Or hold his hand until help came?

Grace under fire! She did it.
Beautiful speech. Hillary spoke to sexism like Barack spoke to racism a few months back.

Zombie McCain is a man who gives a speech like it’s the first time he’s read it and doesn’t seem to enjoy the experience. A man who seems to do all he can to squeeze his personality from the words he’s uttering. A man who smiles, repeatedly and scarily, at inappropriate moments.

The Swamp: McCain needs to lose inner zombie

The smile is NOT doing things for you, McCain. Drop it. And drop the snickering. These odd habits of yours make me think either 1) you have bad manners or 2) you have a smile-related tick. Neither of those are attractive features for a potential president.

Actually, forget what I said. Keep smiling. Mix it up. Obama will thank you.

If the primaries resembled a marathon dance competition that only ended when the last Montana voter dropped, then the upcoming veepstakes is more akin to a game of Clue played wearing earplugs and blindfolds.

Never doubt the impact of a single vote.

1 vote made majority in gay marriage ruling

The power of one, people. I’m telling you. One person can make a real impact. I didn’t always believe this— I had my doubts— but I see it as true more and more each day.
