Posted on 04/30/13 at 09:49 am in response to Hostile reception greets Dayton at first metro-area ‘Meet with Mark’ session

(Again, and again, and again.)

But, honestly, feeling the need to bully the governor because you disagree with him,

especially when the majority of the citizens of the State of Minnesota are profoundly supportive of him?

I'd say we need to give these folks some money so they can "buy a clue" (or two or ten), but I suspect, they'd spend it on trying to turn us into Texas, when it comes to regulation,...

and Mississippi, when it comes to prosperity for the general...

Posted on 04/30/13 at 09:44 am in response to New DSM (psychiatry's 'bible') may be out of date before it's published

and most of the psychological and mental therapy field today,...

is that it lacks any concept of the deeper, unconscious functioning of the human psyche.

Freud realized there was something there, but never adequately understood what it was because he was too busy projecting his own dysfunctions onto all his patients. (Having developed the ability to be a hammer to his own particular set of dysfunctions, he saw everyone else's problems as nails needing a similar external or...

of not responding to the issues I raised.

Posted on 04/30/13 at 09:12 am in response to New Vikes stadium will be 100 feet taller than Metrodome

Since they can't get their way, they play dishonest, naughty little boy and girl games in the voting process, then (although it wasn't mentioned here) are described as being "gleeful" when they temporarily prevented from passing a bill that was clearly GOING to pass in the end.

They remind me of a group of "mean girls" that developed in and made life miserable for a 6th grade class, it's teacher, the principal, and an entire school for a few months way back when.

But here's the...

Posted on 04/30/13 at 09:27 am in response to Cartoonist Ohman's offense? Starkly provoking a debate over politics and public safety

It's a full-fledged documentary regarding the dangers the citizens of Texas and their first responders have come to be in as the result of the Repubicans' certifiably crazy "business friendly," NO regulations allowed, anything goes policies in a single frame.

The deaths of the first responders and others in West, Texas were the DIRECT result of policies Gov. Perry has pushed through and continued to protect.

But as is so often the case with rabid "conservatives" they simply CAN...

Posted on 04/26/13 at 03:44 pm in response to Church's rhetoric does not reflect changes to Safe and Supportive Schools Act

But I fear that it will not change the inside-out, upside-down perspective of "conservative" Catholics and other "conservative" Christians that their religious rights are being violated,...

if we do not arrange our entire society and especially our Public Schools systems to reflect their own, and ONLY their own, religious perspectives.

For these severely intellectually-challenged individuals, no one else's religious perspectives (and there are, of course MANY others) can or...

Posted on 04/26/13 at 03:55 pm in response to Scott Honour Q-A: GOP's first candidate for governor wants to reform government, improve business climate

How the increases in private taxes,

especially those collected by the financial industry over the past thirty years,...

are justified.

As far as I'm concerned, the outrageous salaries pulled down by investment bankers such as himself,...

as well as the outrageous levels of compensation now reached by executives throughout US business constitute the very definition of "waste, fraud, and abuse."

(and why is it that REGULAR workers are told they must be...

Posted on 04/26/13 at 08:51 am in response to Brodkorb wants $600K, plus cost of pain and suffering

I'm sure that, should he be elected governor, Mr. Honour would work the same magic on the State of Minnesota that Mitt worked on so many companies as owner of what was, essentially,...

a corporate "chop shop" where Bain was able to steal distressed companies,...

strip them of assets,...

shrink worker pay down to nothing,...

ship the whole operation overseas if workers were not willing to work for third-world wages,...

Posted on 04/25/13 at 09:34 am in response to Orono investment banker Scott Honour to challenge Dayton

my default perspective is that Mr. Honour's goal, if he were to be elected, would be to rearrange MN tax policy and reduce regulation in order to maximize income for himself and those like him, and enable entirely new forms of not-quite-Ponzi schemes by which to extract wealth from unsuspecting investors,...

investors who are, by government law and government policy, then forced to pursue such investments because teacher's and state employee pension programs (among others) will have...

Posted on 04/25/13 at 02:13 pm in response to Orono investment banker Scott Honour to challenge Dayton

Where the majority of the income in Minnesota is produced, and where it is spent. The Red/Blue divide in Minnesota is very much like that in the nation,...

the income is produced and the taxes extracted primarily from the "liberal" areas,

then redistributed to the "conservative" areas whose residents forever proclaim their independence and decry all those big city folks who live off the government.
