Dig Out That Bridesmaid Dress

98.9 KTCO, a sister station of KDAL, is holding a special event this weekend at the Superior Barker's Island Inn.  The 2010 Bridesmaid Ball invites you to find that bridesmaid dress you spent a bundle on (and wore just once), see if you can still squeeze into it and wear it proudly on Saturday night.  Thel dance is a benefit for the Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare and will feature a grand march, food, drink, an awards ceremony and live D-J.  If you don't have a bridesmaid dress, any dress will do.  Tickets are 15 dollars or two for 25 dollars.  Doors open at 7 with the grand march at 7:30 p-m Saturday.

President Obama signed the health care reform bill this morning but Republicans are still fighting it on a variety of fronts.  Several states are planning lawsuits and one Minnesota representative (Michele Bachmann) is introducing a bill to repeal the whole thing.  Meanwhile, Congressman Jim Oberstar says passing the reform package is a "watershed moment" for the country and compares its significance to the Medicare bill in 1965.
