Posted on 05/20/13 at 05:10 pm in response to Educating foster youth is critical to their — and our — future

If only somebody else will pay for it... Do us a favor-if you feel that strongly about it, take up a collection. Not having been able to afford my kid's tuition out of pocket, I'm not interested in paying to educate somebody elses. Not everybody in the state makes as much as you two-or anywhere near!

Posted on 10/19/12 at 11:02 am in response to An open letter to Zygi Wilf: Time for you to help us

Haha. What a dreamer!

Posted on 10/15/12 at 01:32 pm in response to Brodkorb goes public and claims power grab in state Senate

Please-just give the people what they want; the list of who's been doing who and then go away. Nobody's interested in your story and any vids you two may have produced would make me nauseous.

Posted on 07/31/12 at 01:50 pm in response to Minneapolis Fire Department report includes the good, the bad and the ugly

Has anyone calculated the cost of legitimately saving one life to which the MFD has responded? That is, a timely, critical, superior skills-based extraction that would have otherwise most certainly resulted in loss of life? Now divide by vacations, sick time, luxury pensions. Now times more fire-fighters, training and support, and supervisors than you thought possible. At what point do you say 'i just can't afford this anymore?'

Posted on 05/15/12 at 10:47 am in response to Pawlenty offers truisms about our problems, but little about his future

Your just wrong to continue to provide a forum for this hack's self-promotion. If denied a media outlet, trust me-he'll go away!

Posted on 05/01/12 at 10:41 am in response to Dedicated Viking ultra-fans a constant presence in stadium debate

What a perfect union: ding dongs with no jobs (and no prospects) shilling for millionaire absentee owners, from the majority (average taxpayers) simply trying to avoid either extreme.

Posted on 04/17/12 at 12:39 pm in response to Vikings stadium bill will need a ‘miracle’ after committee defeat, sponsor says

Oh Please! All of the commentating and hand-wringing is playing right into the hands of the proponents of this monstrous misuse of tax dollars. It's only serving to heighten the drama and allow everyone to feign a sigh of relief as the handsome prince gallops in to sweep up the lovely princess and carry her off into the sunset (or a 25 year lease). How many times do you have to watch this movie before you know the ending! Watch and tell me I got it wrong?!

Posted on 09/02/11 at 11:07 am in response to Two Minnesota state workers accessed private data

You're really kidding yourself if you think just "two" employees accessed private data illegally. Get real!

Posted on 08/24/11 at 11:58 am in response to State's big agencies confront challenges of new tight budgets

How about if State Gov't joins the rest of it's inhabitants in doing more with less. Many residents are earning less than ever before. It's time state employees shared the pain. There is no bottomless well.

Posted on 07/14/11 at 12:06 pm in response to Dayton offers to end shutdown by accepting GOP plan -- with conditions

What is up with democratic leaders caving on such important issues that were once the center-stone of their campaigns? This sounds like over-priced bad advice from the same idiots that got us here. Thanks.
