Bill Clinton visits West Lafayette High School

Here's the main article covering last night's event with links on the page for more election-related news for the Greater Lafayette area...

and a video highlighting part of Mr. Clinton's speech last night. My favorite part is former gov. Joe Kernan's intro for Mr. Clinton, "Mr. President, welcome to Boilermaker heaven!!"

Oh! and this photo from the event gallery.




By John Terhune/Journal & Courier--An elderly woman rips a pro-Obama sign from the hands of another woman before former President Bill Clinton spoke to a packed gymnasium Monday, March 24, 2008, in West Lafayette High School. The women, neither of whom wished to be identified, scuffled briefly before being separated. The former president was campaigning for his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.

Bill Clinton to visit West Lafayette High School

It's about 6:40 p.m. and rumor in the office has it that the line for the ex-pres. is 2,000 deep at least. Some folks are in for disappointment since the capacity is 1,800 for the event. Jconline.com didn't update until Saturday afternoon that Bill Clinton would be visiting the high school, so there was no way for me to get the day off.

It seems our education reporter is live-blogging during the wait. Only 20 more minutes until doors open! I'll link the story later when it pops up online.

Happy Monday!

I never tire of this song

song o' the day

Australia by the Shins

Wha?!

hmm...I'm wondering how I missed that Ellen Page hosted SNL with musical guest Wilco...

Seems Miss Modern Age didn't care much for Wilco's choice of songs, but it's Wilco and I'm still a fan either way;)

All work and no play makes me quite the dull lady. *sigh*

Final score Purdue vs. Northwestern, 68-43!

Ben Folds makes visit to local Starbucks

And I missed him again! I got a text and phone call from two different people working Friday night that Ben Folds stopped by Wabash Landing Starbucks after his show at Elliott Hall and ordered a soy no water chai. He visited Sagamore back in 2004 when Eric Fisher was working. And Eric, the cool guy that he is, told me he didn't make any conversation with Mr. Folds since he is a "celebrity" and all celebrities are jerks. Great logic there.

Anywho. Back to work.

p.s. Boiler Up! The Purdue men's basketball team is 24-23 over Northwestern at halftime!
