For a city of 43,000 people? Add in the businesses that are there and that sounds like a heckuva deal. I hope they don't want us to feel sorry for them.

Posted on 04/15/13 at 10:09 pm in response to Local talk-radio jock Davis tells Newtown families, 'Go to hell'

...disgusting comments about grieving family members and dead first graders, people who did not seek the lime light before they were thrust into it by a horrific tragedy, is just like commenting on a public figure, like Krauthammer, who makes a living making making slanderous comment about other pubic figures.

...are cowards, they supposedly have the "guts" to make these types of comments, but as soon as they're called on it the turn tail and run. As disgusting as his comments are I would have more respect for him if he would stand by them, instead he makes mealy mouthed excuses. Pathetic.

...she didn't see the rider because the rider was riding at night without a light. That rider should have been paying attention, she should have been more cautious and she should have had a headlight. It really doesn't matter if you have the right of way or not, what matters is you won't win when its a car you're going up against. I never assume that a car sees me until I see the drivers eyes. Never.

but growing up just west of the city in the sixties, my best freind's mother spoke only German when she started school. I wish I could remember the name of the town, but it was in Western Minnesota. German was spoken everywhere, my great grand father never learned English, he spoke Swedish. I own a house in North East Minneapolis, it was built in 1911 and I bought it from the builders son-in-law. There are notes in the basement written in a language I don't recognize. My point, this old saw...

Posted on 03/04/13 at 08:01 pm in response to DFL’s proposed election-law changes unlikely without bipartisan support

...is that Minnesota's voter ID law came straight out of ALEC, just as it did in 37 other states. There was nothing bi-partisan about it.

...obviously there is a connection.

One would think that an ideology that's been screaming low taxes for job creators, would see that after 30 years of lower taxes, the lowest tax rates in 50 years and no new jobs that maybe there was something wrong with their ideology....just kidding the scales will never fall from their eyes. Blind deaf and dumb, mostly dumb.

And Dayton, didn't he run on raising taxes on the upper income earners? I think he did. I know he WON!
