West Duluth Porcupine Hotel

Porky1

On Wednesday I saw this porcupine high at the top of a tree on Raleigh Street, feasting away on bark. Then on Thursday there were two of them (one up high, one down low).

It’s opening day!

Sad, but precious

Pawlenty’s latest commercial not quite as funny as previous ones; still good for laughs

Colbert takes on Pawlenty’s dramatic ads

At PDD, we compared Pawlenty to Superman, among other things, for his chest-puffed image on his book cover. Stephen Colbert one ups us by comparing him to Brawny Man.

At PDD, we called Pawlenty President of the United States of Apocalypse after viewing his book trailer. Colbert says Pawlenty is “running for President of the next Transformers movie.” That one could probably go either way.
