Quickies: Voter turnout, Mac all over the news
* Herald colleague Prairie Pundit is interpreting low voter turnout on Tuesday as satisfaction with the status quo. It's item No. 3.
The City Beat is working on an election analysis, too. More on that later.
* In a "duh" moment, I decided I'd better post those letters that the governor and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa exchanged. Check the bottom of this post.
* The story about Mike McNamara is getting a lot of national attention as we here at Herald thought it would. Web master Tom Dutcher reports that we got 210,000 hits on that story alone, which he said is three times what we get daily for the entire Web site. In fact, the story was the most requested on the entire Knight-Ridder Digital network.
The AP version has been making the rounds. Here it is on CNN. This one's the early version from Grand Forks. Here it is on the "San Jose Mercury News." This one was written from Iraq.
Rick Abbott reports that he was on CNN's American Morning with Soledad O'Brien, but I haven't found a link yet. There's a link in the story to a video.
* There's a new blog from Jeni M.. The blog's name is it's topic: "Grand Forks, UND, and the unvoiced." Are we talking about students here, Jeni?
* A colleague sent along this interview with a journalist-blogger. It's always nice to know how others practice their craft.
* Don't forget, Farmer's Market starts this weekend in Grand Forks' Town Square downtown. It's 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday until Sept. 30. This has always bugged me: If it's "Farmer's Market" singular -- rather than "Farmers' Market" -- which farmer owns it? Writers are such nit-pickers.

There is a link to the story, which contains a video link, in my post. I'll post another.
I appreciate the apostrophe comment. So few these days are aware of such niceties. Hoorah for the nit-pickers. [The Herald can use a few more, or at least a good copy editor-trusting the writers to catch their own errors doesn't work very well!]
Is "The American Farmer" one person?
I didn't think so.
Well, you might be right. Is it properly "The Farmer's Market" or just "Farmer's Market"? Maybe we'll take the liberty of just adding that "the" as part of its formal name to make it grammatically correct.
