Posted on 05/14/13 at 12:18 pm in response to Practical considerations aside, Vikings stadium design is impressive

Of course, they failed to mention that tetrafluoroethylene is widely regarded as carcinogenic.

Posted on 06/10/13 at 12:44 pm in response to Meet the Minneapolis mayoral candidates

As usual you have left out the Socialist and Green candidates. Given that Minneapolis and Hennepin County elected officials have given about a billion of our dollars to the Pohlads and the Wilffs and the state DFL and GOP have just given $250 million to the Germazians some folks might want to see some truly fresh ideas.

Posted on 02/10/13 at 12:38 pm in response to Will the Wolves front office keep the faith?

Why would Love risk his hand-and his and the Wolves future- by doing knuckle pushups. Why does a broken hand keep him from staying in shape? Isn't he running 5 miles a day and doing leg strength work?

Posted on 12/10/12 at 07:34 pm in response to Gov. Dayton posts list of ways he's helped the state economy

Interesting that he no longer lists the new football studio as a major accomplishment. He sold it to us and the media as a great boon to the economy.

Posted on 12/10/12 at 07:54 pm in response to Constitution nearly impossible to amend: Is the bar too high?

The constitution of San Marino has been in effect since 1600.

Posted on 07/18/12 at 01:19 pm in response to Design prof Thomas Fisher wants stadium to produce ‘vibrant’ new Minneapolis area

One of the (many) disturbing things about this whole discussion and process is this;
There already is development in that part of town, and it's the kind of development that brings real jobs and real community benefits. Within 6 blocks of the new site are the University of Minnesota, (at least Prof. Fisher recognizes his employer as part of the neighborhood) the rapidly growing North Central University, the booming arts area toward the river-Guthrie, Mill City Museum, Open Book...

Posted on 06/22/12 at 09:11 pm in response to Conflicted over Trader Joe's in Minneapolis

The usual con job by developers: "every job in a new retail store is a new job'. If Trader Joe is going to have 75 full time living wage jobs including some higher paid manager jobs, they'll need to do $20 million in annual sales- give or take a few mill. It would be absurd to suppose that people in the trading area of the proposed store are sitting on $20 million in grocery money that they're not spending. Of course most of the business would come from other groceries, bakeries and liquor...

Posted on 04/18/12 at 01:19 pm in response to Twins' addition of Clete Thomas gives Ben Revere time to develop

So if Thomas is ok as a limited use part-timer, who is the regular right fielder? Plouffe? Parmelee? Doumit? All flawed also.

Posted on 11/14/11 at 12:26 pm in response to Signing Dodger Jamey Carroll as Twins shortstop a solid first move for Terry Ryan

He doesn't slide head first into first base does he?

Posted on 10/27/11 at 12:22 pm in response to Which GOP flat tax plan is fairest of them all?

How about we make the Social Security tax a flat tax for starters? No cap, same rate applies to all income and where there's no employer match, the taxpayer pays double like the rest of us do on contract and self-employed income.
What do you flat taxers think?
