EVELETH, Minn. — A new memorial will honor the late Sen. Paul Wellstone, his wife and daughter, and five others who died in a plane crash in 2002.
The design of the Wellstone Memorial and Historic Site is scheduled to be unveiled tomorrow near the crash site, which is in a swamp two miles south of the Eveleth airport.

They ought to hold the Democratic convention in a morgue. They can rally the troops and register new voters at the same time.
Rumor has it Liz just made up that rumor out of thin air.
I heard it!
Is it going to have pinatas of effigies of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld hanging and bats available for the librats to (again) vent their rage and anger upon?
As an occupations hazard, politicians (and rock-n-rollers) suffer a high rate of death by plane crash. Considering all the barnstorming time spent in puddle-jumpers it's not hard to put two and two together.
Look at their chosen candidate...the walking dead
"...Anyone ever surf the Democrat boards after the crash?.."
To this day in the "hate Bush" chat rooms the prevailing opinion is that this administration had the CIA take Wellstone OUT! It has become an accepted theory that
Wellstone was killed intentionally to help the GOP take over the senate.
The strange "memorial service" of Paul Wellstone (A LTTE of mine):
Dear Editor,
Paul Wellstone was a socialist. He never met a government program he didn't like or a tax increase he didn't support. He felt that government should run every facet of a citizen's life and was unashamed to say so (unlike most democrats). For this he gets credit as an "honest" politician.
He voted against the Gulf War and any armed solution to the current Iraqi problem but supported Clinton in every military adventure. He saw nothing wrong with Clinton's obstruction of justice and lying to a grand jury. For this he gets credit as a "man of principle."
He promised to only served two terms. He was killed campaigning for his third term. For this he gets credit as "a man of the people."
His memorial service was a strange event. It was not even a service. It was a political rally. Issues and campaign speeches were made. People were yelling, chanting, smiling and laughing. Party leaders tried to out do themselves in how loud they could get the audience to applaud. The evil people (Republican Trent Lott and Independent Jesse Ventura) were booed and scorned for merely attending. There was excitement in the air.
Paul Wellstone's sons energized the crowd. They had just lost their mother, father and sister but they were leading the crowd, with fists in the air, with chants of "We will win!"
Democrats, at taxpayer expense, flew in from all over the country. All the major news outlets had continuing coverage and analysis of the speeches.
Nearly forgotten were the broken bodies of Paul, Sheila and Marsha Wellstone. They had become campaign props. Hardly any prayers were said. God was not mentioned. None said "may he rest in peace."
Paul, Sheila and Marsha are now before their God. May they rest in peace.
Best Regards,

A swamp is the appropriate place to celebrate a leftist like Wellstone...
