> I watched President Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame. I thought that the entire speech and reception went very well. There were only very minor interruptions inside the hall, and those were quickly squelched. It appeared that those protesting outside the arena were more interested in their own publicity. President Obama made some important points.
(I was surprised how small the graduating class was. There were only 2,000 graduates? When I graduated from Ohio State in the early 1970's, there were over 6,000 graduates at our spring commencement.)
> Politico has some information on the Al Franken-Norm Coleman race in Minnesota:
Liberal groups have paid for a billboard in St. Paul, Minn., calling on Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty to certify the winner of the Al Franken-Norm Coleman race as soon as the Minnesota Supreme Court rules.
Franken’s legal team has taken the matter one step further, asking the court to tell Pawlenty he’s got to certify a winner once it rules.
The response from Coleman? Silence......
You almost wonder why the people of Minnesota aren't in the streets protesting the stalling tactics of Norm Coleman. Shouldn't Coleman just give it up?
