Late Out of the Gate

Finally, I am getting around to my first post. No worries, I'll strive to post more frequently from here on out.

I'd like to revisit a story published in the Oct. 13th issue of the Star Tribune, entitled "22-year-old's mayoral bid rests totally on awesomeness," and written by Jon Tevlin.
This one definitely tickled me. Apparently a 22-year-old, unemployed musician found his way onto the ballot under the political party affiliation, "Is Awesome."

I'm curious as to whether this was a blunder, or if he seriously means to go through with the election process.

While we are revisiting past issues of the Star Tribune, I'd like to make note (being a copy desk editor) that a particular issue (date unknown), featuring a collage of the past summer's deceased celebrities, had misspelled Billy Mays' name in the photo cutline.

I'll hopefully address some sports topics next time. After all, sports are fun.
