Eyes and ears

Ah, to have others serve as eyes and ears -- especially when these eyes are about to take a nap.

Intrepid St. Paul-via-Wichita reporter Tom Webb reports that Matt Schlapp spoke at the Minnesota GOP delegation breakfast this morning. Webb said the former Todd Tiahrt aide, now White House Political Director "did a great job" speaking on how the GOP can win this fall.

And former Eagle reporter Arturo Garcia notes that Kansas is referred to in a popular Internet list this week called "1001 Reasons to Hate the RNC":

1000. Delegates from Kansas spotting Dave Chappelle on the streets 50 times a day.

(Note: Eight African Americans are included in the Kansas delegation.)
