Welcome to my new blog!

I have decided that I am much too important to waste my time with the small potatoes of Edina municipal politics, and have fixed my eyes upon the U.S. House of Representatives Minnesota district #2 seat.  Yes, that is correct, I am unofficially announcing my possible candidacy.  (how is that for a politician's answer?)  Edina City Council, Mary Brindle, you crazy, liberal, secular progressive, wanna be; you may have one the battle, but you have not won the war.  I see your city council seat and raise you.  Do you have what it takes?  I know I do!  (notice the finesse used while slamming and provoking my former opponent.)  While the days go by, this blog will be a place for me to react to national and local issues that are currently shaping the U.S. political landscape.  It will also be a place where I share the occasional poignant story about my sweet Yellow Labrador, Dakota.  Enjoy my soap box... I don't plan on getting off any time soon!
