Do you ever read the buzz.mn? It’s pretty good even if one isn’t in MN.
I read the Bleat every weekday right after I get up and get my coffee.

I understand, at least I hope, that this is satire, BUT
The Freakonomics blog on the NYT site has a contest: a six-word motto for the US.
If you read it seriously, the motto that comes out is
America, we suck less!

I did when it first went live, but my initial impression was that it was more of interest to Minnesotans.
But I’ll check it out again...thanks for the tip!
