I was surprised that a reporter from the Twin Cities would call and ask about the Plan B referendum what with so much else going on this election. I mostly joked around because the refrendum has been turned into a eunuch and neither a winning or losing vote will mean much. I predicted that it would fail because voters will go in and see it claims it will cause increased taxes. (Not true of course) Still, I said I&#8217;d be voting for it. That&#8217;s a protest vote, you know.<\/p>\n<p>The interview probably won&#8217;t be aired because it really isn&#8217;t that important. Still, I checked the MPR site today and put my name into their search engine to see if I&#8217;d missed it. Answer: Nope! I was rather surprised, however, to see <a href=\"http:\/\/find.publicradio.org\/search?q=Harry+Welty&#038;btnG.x=20&#038;btnG.y=6&#038;btnG=Go&#038;filter=p&#038;numgm=5&#038;proxystylesheet=mpr&#038;client=mpr&#038;output=xml_no_dtd&#038;filter=p&#038;numgm=5&#038;x=8&#038;y=15&#038;sort=date:D:L:d1&#038;entqr=3&#038;entsp=0&#038;oe=UTF-8&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;ud=1&#038;site=mpr\">so many stories<\/a> quoting me pop up.
