But it's okay for a pillow salesman to be involved in politics?

It's such a satisfying victory (that cannot be celebrated or even brought up again)

Schick and Gillette realizing how much more money there is in defense than personal care products.

From my limited experience, Minnesota is tremendously more progressive than their neighbors who make a really big deal about (poor quality) cheese. I met some younger folks in the Twin Cities who had escaped an otherwise bleak trajectory after growing up in Wisconsin.

If you haven't been, Minneapolis and St. Paul are beautiful cities filled with some lovely people. (They also had some terrorist cells some years back.

...well no, not my bootstraps...

This is a cool defense against something I hadn't even considered as a possible problem. Unfortunately it's Windows-only for now, but I'm looking forward to this becoming more mainstream.

Hey man, there are a bunch of people who have been looking for you.

Freedom and all that
