I just heard an announcement on Minnesota Public Radio that said Martin Sabo, St. Paul’s Congressman is going to retire. Sabo has been in Congress for 28 years now. That’s a heckuva long time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Jim Oberstar has\u00a0Sabo beat by four years. He’s been in Congress for 32 years and shows no sign of slowing down.\u00a0Jim particularly likes distributing photos of himself sitting on a bicycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can find the photo on one of Congressman Oberstar’s websites. I was asked to remove it by one of his staff members who pointed out that I had not asked permission to use it. This staffer helped a guest of mine a couple years ago from the Congo<\/a> who was having difficulty with his papers to enter the U.S. I removed it for this staffer’s sake although I rather suspect that because\u00a0the photo\u00a0was for the Congressman,\u00a0it was in the public domain.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
