Last Friday, I returned from Chihuahua, Mexico after spending a week there on business. The American Airlines flight from Chihuahua to Dallas was delayed by about forty minutes because......the crew didn't arrive at the airport on time. This excuse didn't sit well with my fellow passengers because nearly every one of us was trying to make a connecting flight in Dallas. And it just seems like a Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03781053410876242483noreply@blogger.com

Tomorrow, Notre Dame opens their 2010 football season at home against Purdue. Things have changed since last year. Jimmy Clausen, possibly the most talented quarterback in Notre Dame history, left early for the NFL, as did his primary receiving target Golden Tate.

Weis was considered an offensive genius after Nihilist in Golf Pantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14363439123292045651noreply@blogger.com

We usually like to keep our beer and our politics separate. Especially since mixing in politics tends to taint the flavor of even the best brews. But sometimes the collision of worlds is unavoidable as in the case of this e-mail from an anonymous reader: Alliance for a Better Minnesota has an office in the building where I work. As I was leaving tonight, two people went into the Alliance offices,Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03781053410876242483noreply@blogger.com

With all the distractions and disruptions brought about by the ubiquitous digital devices of the day, it's no wonder that parents worry about their children enjoying the same sort of carefree childhood experiences that they did. But firsthand experience with three young boys has taught me that these fears are mostly overblown.

Rally Funnels Anger Toward Washington (WSJ-sub req):Attendees on Saturday packed nearly a mile of the Mall at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial, in an event that carried the tone of a religious revival. Many at the event said in interviews that they were drawn by a sense of deep disenchantment over the country's direction, alarm over government spending and a sense that the country's political Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03781053410876242483noreply@blogger.com

This has to be the most depressing aspect of the news of the Thwarted Canadian Bombing Attempt (WSJ-sub req): People who know the three men who were arrested say Messrs.

In Monday's WSJ, Aneel Karani made The Case Against Corporate Social Responsibility: Executives are hired to maximize profits; that is their responsibility to their company's shareholders. Even if executives wanted to forgo some profit to benefit society, they could expect to lose their jobs if they tried--and be replaced by managers who would restore profit as the top priority. The movement for Chadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03781053410876242483noreply@blogger.com

The on-going story of the thirty-three miners trapped in Chile is fascinating, especially as details now emerge on how they were able to come together and survive for two weeks before being found (WSJ-sub req). They're still trapped more than a mile beneath the earth, but at least they now have a lifeline to the surface.

Jim Geraghty at National Review profiles some Congressional races that in any normal election year have no business being competitive.

Over the years, we've had the privilege to participate in a lot of great radio moments at the Minnesota State Fair. And giving our generous nature, we've tried to share these moments with our friends and mentors in the industry.
