Posted on 10/25/11 at 10:54 pm in response to U of M gives football coach Jerry Kill seven-year contract

Here we go again. I will bet that cooach Kill will be fired after 2 years and the U. will be buying out 5 years of his contract. Joel Mutura, you sure like spending other peoples money. I would think you would have learned your lesson by now. Maybe you should leave with him in 2 years. Better yet, why don't you resign NOW.

Posted on 10/17/11 at 10:19 pm in response to 'Fix' planned for property tax change that hurt rural areas

So the powers that be replaced the homestead market value credit program and replaced with another that is designed to do much the same thing. Why?? Sounds kind of non-sensical to me. And so now this new program has to be changed because it is disproportionate to certain tax payers. Gosh, it sounds to me that the market credit program should just be put back into place and the powers that be stop monkeying around with things that are working. Typical government work. Way to be Gov....

NPR reporters statements re: Michelle Bachmann.
Nobody cares about your opinions NPR. I thought you had been defunded.

Posted on 09/28/11 at 04:28 pm in response to Solis to speak here at gathering of young labor activists

So the union is at it again. No surprise that Solis will be there. It is almost comical if it weren't so sad.

Posted on 09/14/11 at 07:10 am in response to Once thought beneficial, BWCA fire nearer to '99 blowdown

My take on the HPV controversy is that government must stay out of peoples rights to decide what is best for themselves and/or their children. As far as Perry's edict to have all young girls vaccinated
with the HPV vaccine is over stepping authority. It should have been challenged in the courts. It is over the top in government interference.

Posted on 08/31/11 at 08:35 pm in response to State will, after all, keep paying for honor guards at veterans' funerals

At least the name of God or Jesus can still be used in the religious part of the funeral service as opposed to Texas. The military funeral service is a comfort to the families. THANK YOU, VETERANS.

Posted on 08/30/11 at 12:26 pm in response to Dayton supports vote on stadium tax but Ramsey County says public vote could kill the deal

Of course, if the citizens of Ramsey County get a chance to vote on a tax for the Viking stadium, it will not pass. The same would have happened in Hennepin County on the Twins Stadum. So the Met Council never gave us the right to vote. That is what I call a "TRUE DEMOCRATIC VOTE".

Posted on 08/25/11 at 06:36 am in response to If not Bachmann in the 6th, who would be GOP candidate?

TO Chip Craavaack: The Duluth dominated DFL is angry because you voted against spending money. DFL leftist want to spend, spend, spend. Maybe they should contribute the money they want you to spend, then see what they have to say. HANG IN THERE!

Posted on 08/25/11 at 06:41 am in response to If not Bachmann in the 6th, who would be GOP candidate?

I would like to see Michelle Bachmann run for
Klobuchar's senate seat. That would nullify Franken's left wing votes until we could also rid the state of his presence in the senate.

Posted on 08/24/11 at 09:09 pm in response to Rep. Chip Cravaack consents to a town meeting ... in Duluth

TO: Chip Cravaack: Although I am not in your district my rep., Erik Paulsen, voted for the debt ceiling bill. I had a one-on-one meeting with him last week and told him I was NOT happy with his vote. Don't the people in your district realize that the congress got $92 billion/year in cuts over 10 years and gave the President $900 billion to spend NOW. YOU DID THE RIGHT THING TO VOTE NO. I WISH MY REP. PAULSEN WOULD HAVE HAD THE GUTS TO VOTE NO LIKE YOU DID.
