In honor of Paul Wellstone on the anniversay of his passing: (pic heavy)
Edited on Thu Oct-25-07 10:50 AM by LaraMN
(thanks to FoxMulder for reminding me that it was today, five years ago)











Five years later, I still see "Wellstone" bumperstickers, frequently.

Minnesota misses you Paul, and damn, could we use your help these days.

1. Wow. I remember the icy drizzle that day. It's gloriously clear here today.
Can't believe it was 5 years ago.

And I'm still furious that some asshat stole my Wellstone yard sign that evening.

Did you ever see any of the "he's dead. get over it." bumperstickers?

The height of disgusting.

He was my undergrad advisor in 1986 at Carleton and inspired me tremendously.

11. He'd certainly be giving Pelosi and Reid a boatload of hell.
I'm sure of that.

13. He is definitely missed right now.
No other politician today comes close to what Paul Wellstone was.

I still have my Wellstone bumperstickers and yard sign. They both are proudly displayed in my front room window.
