Political Landscape - Michael Piper
One of the things we try to do here is to keep a watch on local races across the United States to see how the state and national parties may fare. One of our readers called attention to a little known place in Minnesota where a number of Republicans are trying to vie for a state house seat currently held by a democrat who also just happens to be a school teacher.
The race encompasses part of a city called Northfield and the rural area around it. One of the candidates is a guy by the name of Michael Piper. Mr. Piper appears to be unique in the sense that he has an intellect about him that would serve the people of that district well.
We searched a few web browsers and discovered that Mr. Piper has served at a number of township levels and is involved in a number of volunteer activities in his home area.
It will be interesting to see if a town like Northfield that prides itself on its intellectual leanings can differentiate between an incumbent that happens to be in education and an individual who is actually intellectually competent.

Oh Crap! - Senator Ben Nelson Caved!
Well Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska has decided to cave in and vote for the Health Care debacle. At least he "kept" government monies from funding abortions, or so the spin doctors say..time will tell.
My wish to Santa Claus is that a miracle occurs and the health care bill gets lost until after Christmas break when the constituents can remind their democratic senators and representatives who they work for.
The kind of health care reform we need should not break the federal bank and should not be funded on the backs of taxpayers.
One big lump of black coal for Senator Ben Nelson.
