Youtube video of the week: Topeka versus Duluth: round two

Being a native Kansan, I was delighted by the news that Topeka, Kansas unofficially renamed itself "Google, Kansas" in an attempt to curry favor with Google and be named a test city for an ultra-high speed broadband project.
Think of it as magic fairy dust for cities to get super-fast Internet. Topeka is known for jumping through hoops for even less ambitious causes, having temporarily renamed itself "ToPikachu" back in 1998 to recognize the "Pokemon" madness, according to the Topeka Capital Journal.

Also, the city jumped on KFC's offer to fill potholes, for some reason. The photo on the following link pretty much sums that up:

Duluth is in the hunt as well, as evidenced by the following delightful YouTube clip:

The Eden Prairie Library is seeking ideas for a new quote for the wall in its Teen Area. Today it says, "Never judge a book by its movie," a quote from J.W. Eagan. By the way, who is J.W. Eagan? Does anyone know? I can't find any info online.

Here's the link to submit a new quote.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Regardless of your political views, one thing that has always struck me about President Barack Obama is his relentless daily workout routine. He plays a ton of basketball and puts in his 45-60 minute workout day in and day out. He claims it sets the tone for his entire day- that it gives him the energy he needs to grapple with the world’s problems.

A bill recently introduced at the state Legislature by Rep. Gene Pelowski, DFL-Winona, would allow a citizen to take a public information dispute to the state Office of Administrative Hearings, a judicial agency that’s part of the state’s executive branch.

Ask an expert

I was visiting my girlfriend and her kids in Eden Prairie on Feb 17 and bought them an "open box" item(taped shut). When we got it home amongst 3 children ages 3, 6, and 8 we found a ****** DVD in the player. I am not sure what to do or how to proceed. This should NEVER have happened and I am not sure if laws were broken and how to make sure this NEVER happens again!
