The return of Randy Kelly

There have been assorted sightings of former St. Paul mayor Randy Kelly in recent days, at his home on the city's East Side and in church, among them.

He went to work for the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C., about three years ago, after suffering a historic defeat in the 2005 election. Now that George Bush is out of office (Kelly was one of the lone Democrats to endorse his re-election in 2004), the former mayor seems to be out at the EPA, as well.

At least, that's what his voice mail says.
