Well, I'm heading to Iowa for 3 weeks (give or take) to see some family so I thought I'd leave you guys with some high quality anonymous ranting provided by none other than the Brainerd Dispatch.

Vox mother fuckin' Pop. In yesterday's paper, there was not one, but two stellar Vox Pops.
1.) Honor thy father and thy mother, My children, nephews, nieces and grandchildren -- where are you? No visits, phone calls, cards, ect. When I pass on to the happy hunting grounds and my money has gone to those that remembered and you were forgotten on purpose -- think about it. Think tomorrow may be too late. Maybe Father's Day once a month or more often.

--What I'm getting out of this is that some crazy old coot is pissed off that his family doesn't see them that often. I have a feeling that if the person has his whole family not want to see him, he probably did something to deserve it. Who knows, this could be a racist (with a captial "R") who disabled all the channels on their TV set to not include anything that might have "those kind" featured. Or, who knows, maybe the rest of the family are just assholes.

2.) On June 18, four runners running down the 371 Brainerd bypass need an escort from two Baxter Explorer police vehicles, one fire truck and an ambulance. All these vehicles running full emergency lights. A call to the Dispatch confirms the runners are for Special Olympics Torch Run. Let's assume the drivers of these vehicles are volunteering their time. There's still an issue of public vehicles being used for a fundraiser. I know a guy who is a runner for charity. He says they're lucky to have a van follow them. This looks like a misuse of public property and funds.

-- Are you kidding me? This dude, is pissed that the SPECIAL OLYMPICS are getting a caravan to follow. This is one cold dude. I'm not sure what to even say about this one. damn.
