If it were a slow day and there was nothing else to do, I'd take a long look at the official logo for the RNC 2008 convention host committee and try to figure out how they decided what buildings made it.

Take, St. Paul, for instance. The Capitol. Cool. First Bank? Yeah, that's kind of an icon. The Travelers building? A company that just took St. Paul out of its name? One that the chair of the host committee used to run? And why is the building so big? It towers over the Capitol and the First Bank building. What subtle message is that telling us?
And the bridge....what's the message delivered by the bridge?
Yep, I'd use the awesome power of the Internet to create an entire subculture of conspiracy that will make the Proctor & Gamble logo and "I buried Paul" look tame by comparison.
Nah....
Although it's a good thing the convention isn't being held in Sleepy Eye.
