Posted on 08/12/11 at 11:22 am in response to MPR hires Kevyn Burger as newscaster

YAY. It'll be great to have Kevyn back on the air again, where folks can appreciate how smart she is!

Posted on 05/04/10 at 11:52 am in response to Done! Mischke gets 10 p.m. WCCO-AM show

Well, maybe now I'll come back to 'CCO, which had gotten so bland that even this baby boomer (I'm 55) was nodding off. I don't think WCCO is chucking its "established older audience." Heck, those folks are DYING. And the rest of us can't listen to MPR every hour of every day.

Posted on 03/22/10 at 11:12 am in response to Jesse Ventura in town to sign his new 'Conspiracy' book and appear on WCCO's Sunday news show

Sigh. Jesse, don't go away mad. Just go away.

Dang! I missed him! I'd listen to 'CCO EVERY night if Tommy took over that time slot.

Posted on 01/14/10 at 05:02 pm in response to Michele Bachmann, GOP leading Hill twitterers

Why so many Bachmann "followers"? Well, maybe they can't read more than 140 characters at a time.

Posted on 09/17/09 at 01:38 pm in response to Hibbing newspaper erects a paywall

The online sites for these two papers are fairly thin anyway; the only things I'll have to call home for are the obits. The paywall won't be a big moneymaker, I'll bet.

Posted on 05/06/09 at 12:09 pm in response to Two more suburban weeklies die

Robert, if you've been in the local newspaper business in the metro area, I can't believe you haven't heard of these papers. Each has been around a good, long time. It's definitely news when, one by one, community newspapers are dying. Yours might be next. It's not "gloom and doom." It's reality. Which bites more than ever these days.

Posted on 01/26/09 at 12:22 pm in response to Beyond race: What Michelle Obama means to me

I'd have really liked to read the conclusion here.

Posted on 06/10/08 at 10:51 am in response to Here comes the bride -- picture-perfect, thanks to the likes of Botox, veneers and stunning makeup

Can S-U-C-K-E-R be embroidered nicely in silk? Oy vey.

Posted on 05/15/08 at 11:18 am in response to Decimated: Strib to cut newsroom budget 10 percent

There is one silver lining here: MinnPost may enjoy an ever-expanding cadre of excellent reporters to tap for serious journalism in this community.
