Could someone please start bringing attention on other, also frightening, parts of the Wisconsin bill. Such as the sale or operation of state power plants without bid for any amount they want.

Please help get the word out about the Republicans refusal to answer questions about their own bill. I am appalled by what I just saw that MNPublius posted yesterday.

The public can also check the information themselves on the Minneapolis Police Department website. Click on MPD Highlights and/or Crime Maps and Statistics on http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/

Having experienced the comfort and speed of digital mamos, I am much more prompt about getting in for a mammogram. And I was pretty good about doing it. Anecdotally, I know many who would rarely go in because they experienced such discomfort from traditional mamos. If digital has the effect of getting more women to do the mamos, then it is worth it.

And I would also get home 30 minutes later than I do now. Why would I take the train?

What a joke! Wireless Minneapolis doesn't work and no self-respecting city department will use it. Neither will most citizens. How anyone can say all citizens benefit from it is beyond me.

I'm surprised not to have heard anything about the conditions of the recount. In Hennepin County they are next to the escalators in a very busy public area. Hardly conducive to concentration and the seriousness of the task at hand.

Buy anything electronic from Target at your own risk. You WILL be treated as a criminal if you should have the misfortune to need to return your item. I have seen grown men reduced to near tears as they tried to return defective items to Target with ALL the appropriate paperwork and intact boxes.
