Thank you for writing this article.

Posted on 05/14/13 at 06:07 am in response to Vikings unveil stadium design: What do you think?

I do not find extreme, useless projections slicing up the skyline modern in any way. None of this has the look of efficiency for the environment it resides.
But most importantly, it forever taint the Vikings, if they ever win a Super Bowl.

Posted on 03/07/13 at 11:02 am in response to The great senior sell-off: Our next housing crisis?

This article hardly delves into the demographics and development of dwelling into the near future. What really happened is that cheap farm land was turned into snout houses with a bunch of lily white flighters, fueled by blame it on the blacks, crime fear. Those are the crummy, worthless properties that are far too large, to far away and valued far above market realities. Sure every kid has their own bedroom, but how long do your kids live with you anyway? There is a glut of housing in...

Posted on 02/07/13 at 02:27 pm in response to Amy Koch media saga: Who did what and when

Your description of the conduit is apt and I keep getting this confusing visual. The conduit keeps getting piped back to the same location; Ron (I wasn't there) Rosenbaum. What is interesting is it can be hard to track this story, but actually it is simplified by the reduction of some players wearing many hats.

The hubris over deftly leaking this story in an unethical manor was based on maintaining the integrity of the legislature. This should not be lost in the morass of fingers...

I am watching the NetFlix House of Cards. It is sad when these sort of double dealing persona get mythologized. This has been successfully going on with the romanticization of organized crime, so why not involve the White House? At least everybody seems to be getting laid.

Posted on 01/18/13 at 12:03 pm in response to In a massive winter power outage, how would Minnesotans heat their homes?

I appreciate your investigations into back-up heat in case of a long term power outage. I used to do furnace and air conditioning service work, so I know it is not always easy to explain.
Fortunately, in my house I do have a gas fireplace insert with a standing pilot. The gas valve is operated by batteries.
Speaking of fake fireplaces, I remember working at a wise renter's apartment in Minneapolis. She had an electric fireplace for backup heat if the central heating boiler...

I like RT Rybak and I can see him running for other offices higher up, but somebody get the man a spokesperson.

“We’re going to pave a boatload of streets, and this is a big honking deal,”

Where do I begin?

Thanks Minneapolis, Mayor Rybak, and MinnPost

Posted on 11/07/12 at 06:18 pm in response to GOP legislative 'losers' and DFL 'winners' take decidedly different tacks

Now that the crybabies are out of power. I would like to see the party sent a packing, never to return. They should be embarrassed.

"Dean suggested that DFLers will not rest until Minnesotans pay “the highest taxes in the country.”"

Boo hoo, what an absolute waste of our time. Leave and please do not come back.

A park sounds best.

Posted on 10/01/12 at 11:35 am in response to Why did the Star Tribune let Matt Birk talk while ignoring Chris Kluwe?

It very well could be that being for Photo ID and Yes on the Marriage Amendment is by default, being opposed to unions. I do not think the Strib scores highly in the area of pro labor. This should raise a few eyebrows of my fellow union brothers who rallied to have the new stadium built.
