I believe I would have reacted similarly when I was a kid, but perhaps Wii need to evaluate our society.... This makes me think that Nintendo has figured out a way to deliver crystal meth via televisions and hand-held controllers.

Leslie Hall, post 2


Ok, so one post doesn't do this gal enough justice. I also wanted to link to her exhibition of awesome gem sweaters. Make sure to read the captions for each sweater.

I think this Leslie Hall is going places...

Leslie Hall and the LYs

This is an opening line for a song that I can get into, "On the way to the club we pass by a Dairy Queen...". This is a pretty awesome group thats strutting their IA stuff, and I like it. Perhaps Ames IA will be the next grassroots music nexus like Seatle in the 90s.




Its strange, because I heard about this group from a guy from philly that went to madison for a show where they opened. Bizarre.

Open letter to Ted Turner

Re: NE Tetanka?



Ted Turner just opened up a restarant here in Philly where he is selling, gasp, Bison. Actually I've heard that bison is pretty good to eat, very lean, that isn't the problem. My concern for you, Ted Turner, is whether your intentions with my fair state are genuine. If you don't know, Ted has been buying up many ranch lands across the great plains, he now owns over 2 million acres, making him the largest land owner in the US. These properties are scattered all over the plains states, but he is now the single largest landowner in Nebraska and the united states of a.


This land grab of Ted's has really rilled up the feathers of the local ranchers of Cherry county in Nebraska (a large county in nebraska known mostly for the infamous butt bandit, the subject of my next expose), as he has been overpaying for the land and making it difficult for local farmers to expand their own operations. Boo hoo, right? But I think perhaps he has a different agenda. Is it coincidental that these ranch lands overlap with the Ogalala Aquifer, the largest single pool of groundwater in the country? I think ole Ted may, and I may be going out on a bit of a limb here, be part of some sort of shadowy society of overlords.











Only time will tell if Ted's intentions are good in Cherry county. but if he enters the bottled water industry I'll get a bit more worried. Or, perhaps he is the true butt bandit....
