RUDY GUILIANI MAY JUST HAVE EARNED MY VOTE for President, should he decide to run in 2008. For that matter, he may have earned the entire State of Minnesota in one fell swoop.
Actually, we prefer to call ourselves the "State of Hockey;" proud home of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, the greatest high school tourney in all the world, over half the players on the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, five-time national champion U of M Golden Gophers, and the mullet, which I believe originated here known as "hockey hair."
But that's another story.
The past couple of years have been rough, to say the least. Herb Brooks lost his life not 25 miles from where I sit and the NHL strike left us hockey-less in the depths of winter. It is true what was said in "Mystery Alaska," hockey and sex are the only fun things to do in cold weather, and one can't have sex all the time.
Along comes Guiliani, with a plan sure to win the hearts of Minnesotans, and it has nothing to do with sex.
...Rudy Giuliani is planning to form a new professional league.
Tentatively called the International Hockey Association, the league would rely on Giuliani’s New York consulting firm to help raise as much as $5 billion to get the new league up and running, according to a business plan circulated to prospective Wall Street investors.
Rudy, my man, if you're out there, I have only one request. Can we get rid of the two-line pass? Please?
