Posted on 01/10/13 at 01:52 pm in response to Dayton to biz leaders: Show me where you'd cut spending

 ... I was certainly not make light of an incident as awful as this. But reading through the guy's priors I'd like to know how such a couple got together -- not just to date -- but marry. The victim appears to have been an otherwise competent adult. Low self-esteem? Depression?  Or did he somehow manage to avoid disclosing his heinous past? If so, how did he pull that off? What do her friends and family have to say?Again, my apologies ... .

David:  First, I want to say how pleased I am that YOU are doing this stuff.

That said ... what do we know about actual audience size station by station compared to say 10 years ago, or pre iPod?

I remember having a conversation with some consultant years back who explained that "early adapters" were going to erode audience first and most from young-targeted pop stations and tech-savvy "news" stations, or more precsely networks like NPR, with lots of podcast-worthy...

A VERY astute observation, Hiram.

Joseph: Regarding my title here at MinnPost ... I have none at the moment. But I'm open to ideas. Personally, I'd like something that implies the messianic zealotry of David Koresh with the impervious certainty of someone like Sean Hannity. Feel free to offer your suggestions.

Paul: I'm not saying I agree with him. I'm just saying that he writes well -- as in an engaging way -- and unlike almost every other conservative I read, he isn't tediously parroting echo chamber talking points.

Posted on 01/26/11 at 03:12 pm in response to Bachmann's big night: reaction to her SOTU response

To #5, Jackson -- Frankly, I am a bit sheepish about all the Bachmann stuff. But among the ground rules for The Glean are that items be "Minnesota-related". In view of her extraordinarily high national profile, and as a leader of arguably the most raucous new political movement of the moment she requires near constant coverage. On top of that is the sad fact -- as David Brauer notes in his column today -- that the local Twin Cities' "major" press hasn't exactly worked up a sweat pointing out...

Posted on 10/10/10 at 09:54 pm in response to Questions over 'quislings'

Let me diagram my joke about Tony Sutton and the RINO "quislings": If, (A), Mr. Sutton seems completely unaware of the Nazi connection in calling fellow Republicans "quislings", then is it possible that(B)he really did mean Ozment, Jennings, et al were not ... loyal Nazis? In other words, how ill informed is he?

Posted on 03/18/10 at 11:48 am in response to Not dead yet: Star Tribune, Pioneer Press demise prediction unfulfilled

Oh, good lord. Here's a humor diagram for the hopelessly literal-minded. A: I make lousy prediction. B: Some newspaper employee calls me on it. C: Old buddy Brauer e-mails to good-naturedly dog me about it. D: I cop to this lousy prediction being maybe the best prediction I've ever made. E: I offer disclaimer that what comes next is "All-Snark", as in haplessly grasping for some semblance of credibility. And then finally, F: The papers aren't really papers at all anymore, inferring I...
