Slowing Down
After a politically intense day yesterday, things have slowed down (so far). That's in addition to finals week ending today, something always appreciated by students and instructors - especially the students. I'd expect things to stay slow as we enter the Christmas-New Year's stretch, especially in the state, if a little less so nationally.
In the aftermath of last week, the state Republican party, like the national GOP for the last few months, is looking particularly weak right now. The feetax fiasco is completely their fault, and their terrible candidates in St. Cloud are really making the entire party look bad. Tim Pawlenty's nine point bump will be erased, and the GOP will be entering 2006 (obviously an election year) on the wrong foot. It's looking good!
