I disagree and I'll use this quote to make my point.

"I would rather get away from that whole idea of clocks. We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive ... [and] going back is the quickest way on." C.S. Lewis

Laugh Out Loud Funny

I have been off my game the last week, but summer in Minnesota will do that to you. Well tonight I was reviewing the latest news on the local media and I came across a gem in the Southwest Journal that made me laugh out loud. The SW Journal had a piece about Mark Ritchie receiving the DFL nomination to run for the secretary of state position. This paragraph is the one that made me laugh out loud, but rather than just highlighting it I want to make this more interactive. I want you go guess which part made me laugh.

Ritchie, a 54-year-old ECCO resident, has lived in Minneapolis for 25 years and has spent the past 15 years working on nonpartisan voter registration, election protection and get-out-the-vote campaigns. He organized a grassroots voter registration drive in 2004 called November 2. His work during that election cycle and the frustration he felt with the secretary of state's office compelled him to run.
Left your guess in the comments area, I'll monitor the guesses and update the post in a day or two.
