Two Winners
Howard Dean visits The Frozen Tundra:
"Dean had some other laugh lines during the day, including one of several allusions to the hometown heroic Green Bay Packers. Referring to the colors of the Service Employees International Union (and of the vanquished Minnesota Vikings), Dean said he made a wise choice in not wearing his purple SEIU jacket to the event (though he did at one point don a Packers hat and a cheesehead)."
Now, this cleary violates the Calvin Coolidge rule: Never be photographed waring a funny hat. But in Green Bay, Wisconsin, it's smart...

A new year, a new Democrat
"Pennsylvania State Treasurer Barbara Hafer, one of the state's most enduring Republican politicians in the last 15 years, has switched her party registration to Democratic. The unsuccessful GOP nominee for governor in 1990 said she shifted her party loyalty simply because she felt her progressive stance on social issues, such as her support of abortion rights, no longer fit in with the GOP..."

North Liberty Internet firm files bankruptcy
North Liberty-based Internet service provider Internet Navigator has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and plans to sell off its assets to the highest bidder.
The move will not affect customer services, said Wes Huisinga, a Cedar Rapids attorney who was named as trustee of the company Monday.
Legally known as On-Line Services LLC following a Chapter 11 restructuring that was completed earlier this year, the 8-year-old company currently has between 8,000 and 10,000 customers, said Michael Glick, chief executive officer of the company.
According to documents filed Dec. 23 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Iowa, On-Line Services had about $1.7 million in total assets and about $2.2 million in debt.
Glick said the company simply could not compete with larger Internet service providers that offer better and less expensive services.
The company's North Liberty office urrently employs only two customer service operators, a drop from 13 after the company downsized last month.

Notes from a Christmas vacation
Still trying to get my bearings back in Iowa City. I can't remember the last time I took off five straight days.
The Miracle In The Desert certainly ranked as one of the high points. Also a lot of serious nephew-niece time, even a couple runs down the ole hill on a sled before the snow melted.
The squirrels in my parents' backyard are the fattest squirrels on the planet.
It is extremely unusual anymore for me to be the adult male in the room with the most hair (only because my genetically mutant middle brother didn't travel)
Spongebob Squarepants is actually very funny
I have a good ear for recognizing cartoon voices - I spotted both Dauber from Coach and Worf from Star Trek TNG.
I'm not going to eat for a week
I was in the unfortunate position of needing car repair and the garage I went to 15 years ago when I lived in Wisconsin was still there, still run by the same guy, and expanded. Tells me he does a good job

Arizona Receiver Will Be Mayor Guest at Packers Game
"Of course, he's my favorite non-Packers player," Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt said...
Schmitt's invitation took Poole by surprise.
"I heard that the fans in Green Bay were quite some fans, but I didn't expect this," he said in a telephone interview Monday with the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
He wasn't even thinking about the Packers when he made his catch at the end of the game.
"I was just trying to get a victory for the team because we've been down," Poole said.
Schmitt also will give Poole a key to the city.
