It's July: no politics until August.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!

The Late Sue Rockne

I noted in the paper today the passing of Sue Rockne, longtime DFL activist. She gave us many memorable Friday nights on the Almanac couch in the 1990's. She was as liberal as they come and just as wrong, but I still couldn't help liking her.

I think it was because she convinced me that she really believed in her causes for their intrinsic merits. Too many of her successors only seem to value them as campaign issues.

Sue Rockne's smile, intelligence, and spirit will be missed.
