Politics:
Here’s a wrinkle for you:
Barack Obama De volgende president van de Verenigde Staten. Puzzled? Many in Europe also want change in the United States government. “Barack Obama is for us the one and only standing for real change!” A Dutch skynet blog. It’s worth a visit just to show them you’ve noticed! Nu de “Moed van Hoop!“

Beyond Politics:
Actualizers is less political than the preceding blogs, intended to urge readers to self-confidence, enfranchisement, and self-actualization. It affirms the value of magining, envisioning, and creating in our lives: http://actualizers.blogspot.com/
Speaking of creating, an outstanding Minnesota musician, who divides his time between the northeastern Arrowhead region and the Twin Cities metro, Michael Monroe is a band in his own mind. Replete with simple flutes and midi-guitars his talent and creativity make time stand still while you listen to his music. Michael is a local treasure.
Also from the Arrowhead region, a stone’s throw from Michael’s solar-powered recording studio, you can find Hayes Surveying & Mapping, a cartographic and surveying company that does everything from wetlands delineation and boundary surveys to maps of ATV trails and platting (based just north of Grand Marais.)
Minnesota’s fascination with all things Nordic and the historic Scandinavian connection is reflected in the music of “Scandium“, a trio based in Northfield. Have you ever heard Swedish songs sung with a Norwegian accent?
