St. Paul Notes (Lucky VII)

TR on the video screen gets no applause, nor his founding of the National Parks Service.

Who's "acclaimed inger and songwriter Rachael Lampa?" Others seem as baffled as I, save for the fourteen people in the Ohio delegation clapping along. (Ms. Lampa, it arrives, sings like a mouse, only more out of tune.)

Oh: "Rachael Lampa was named #1 Female Artist by Christ Community magazine. But—wow—I just did a Nexis search on her name and got back not a single hit. Then I hit the Proquest Newsstand database. One hit from April, five from 2006, a nice mention in the September 23, 2005, Wyoming Tribune - Eagle. She does, to her credit, nail the key change.

Oh, wait. She's lip-synching.

A Timesman just showed up, and started flipping channels on the New York Times table's flat screen TV.

They play AC/DC during the set change. Isn't that the devil's music?
