I understand imploring great myths might not do any good but, it is cheap and seems to work as well as votng for people who say they will lead us in the fight to protect our grandkids inheritance!

this guy seems bright enought to be a Democrat !

Posted on 03/10/12 at 12:47 pm in response to Steve Sviggum agrees to step down as U of M regent at emotion-filled board meeting

Or maybe just pschotic arrogance?

Reminds me of the farmer who was against government welfare!

Posted on 03/09/12 at 09:09 am in response to BWCA visitors are aging: Who will take their place?

Maybe the greedy have so shorted the future generations that they are working on some lower level aspects of their needs.

Would be interesting to find out if the old-timers are socially conscious and willing to pay taxes for schools etc. or if they are part of the "I want tax cuts' so I can keep it for myself crowd.

If I were king I'd provide a voucher to each American child....part A is one trip to the BWCA and part B is an opportunity to try college for free and if...

I "third" Mr. Rovick...

I think the problem needs more attention on the preventative side. Better sex education and pre-family education for young girls might help.

If you want to address the problem you might push for prosecution of the Criminal Sexual Conduct that is involved in some of the poor girls becoming unprepared mothers.

Posted on 03/07/12 at 08:10 am in response to Retiring GOP Sen. Geoff Michel says he wants to finish strong

Telling the public a few lies about the timing and discussions re: Amy Koch sexual harassment, is finishing strong if your goal is to destroy confidence in government.

Did I say "lie"? Political word choice; "blurred"?

Kline should stick to something he understands. By the time workers actually ask for a union or a vote on one, they don't need more time to listen to the arguments...they have decided they want to vote.
Delay doesn't work but, proposing legislation to delay does please some corporate masters and help raise money.

Posted on 07/12/11 at 09:53 am in response to Religious leaders' Capitol rally to deliver loaves and fishes in symbolic call for tax increases

Religious leaders helped elect the anti-tax theocrats who focus more on abortion and gays than they really should. After your buddies kill this state you can step in and service it with "charity".Until then, please be seated until an usher asks you to move.....to Wisconsin.
