A New and Improved Senator Coleman?

You have to admire Norm. Over the past few weeks - ever since the November 7 writing on the wall - he has been diligently distancing himself from his real role of Bush sycophant and trying to recast himself as someone Minnesotans might want as Senator. Too bad he didn't appreciate the sentiments of Minnesota's voters during his term in the Senate.

Norm's latest twist in the wind has been to come out against more troops for Iraq. Wow! Is this the win at all costs to America in blood and treasure Norm we have come to know over the years?

He even has a tidbit for us in Grand Marais. For our consumption he has come out in support of the home grown Grand Marais initiative to keep a year round Coast Guard presence. While this is something we all need to support for the good of the community and for the safety of boaters, and particularly our commercial fishing friends and the larger ships we see on occasion over the winter months, where has Norm been?

It is always amazing to see politicians of Norm's ilk rush to the front of a parade even faster than our gulls pounce on a discarded hot dog. Mostly it's disgusting, but it will at least be fun to watch him wipe the mustard off his chin.

Oh Too True
