Posted on 05/18/13 at 04:05 pm in response to Bachmann, Tea Party rally against IRS disclosures

Surely the IRS' granting of these statuses should be investigated in depth FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS. At least that will ensure that the "scandal" is non-partisan.

Posted on 05/19/13 at 12:07 pm in response to Obama’s three scandals: a closer look

Benghazi: Republicans altered the emails. Scandal evaporates, though it should take a massive U-turn.
IRS: Oh, look, it turns out liberal groups were targeted too. Blatantly so, if you expand the investigation into the previous administration.
Umbrellagate: Why look, here's photos of all the people who complained, themselves being sheltered by umbrellas held by others (including uniformed Marines).

Meanwhile, the REAL scandals, like oh say a Supreme Court Justice who...

Posted on 05/10/13 at 02:01 pm in response to Gay-marriage advocates hold off celebration plans till Minnesota law is signed

Miss Manners once wrote "Society is divided, not into liberal and conservative, but into those who feel they should have a say in the private lives of others and those who do not." Fortunately for Minnesota, the latter group seems to be ascendant of late.

Posted on 05/10/13 at 02:05 pm in response to $15 to park on street for Vikings game? Minneapolis 'smart' meters raise rates for big events

Paying $15 for ANYTHING to do with a Vikings game seems wildly excessive, even if that cost covered admission, parking, a hotdog AND a beer. Have they suddenly become a viable team or something?

Posted on 05/10/13 at 02:09 pm in response to Opposing same-sex marriage has made Pastor Jerry McAfee a lightning rod

... if you don't believe in same-sex marriage, then don't enter into one. Others' marriages are none of your business, and surely there are things in your own life that could use the attention.

Posted on 05/06/13 at 01:48 pm in response to GOP candidate Jeff Johnson on raising taxes, stricter gun control, gay marriage: He's opposed

He's opposed to raising the minimum wage, he's opposed to broader health care, he's opposed to others' marriages. Fine. Let's see him LIVE on minimum wage, get his own insurance from "the open market", and do without his own marriage. If he persists in his views under these circumstances, listen to him; otherwise, he's just another blowhard who's in favor of anything that makes life more difficult for others, so long as it doesn't affect him personally.

Posted on 04/30/13 at 12:27 pm in response to Why speak out for gay rights? It's the right thing to do

Chris, you're one of the gems of Minnesota. Thank you for speaking out on behalf of treating others as one would wish to be treated oneself -- a concept that many seem to have lost touch with on this particular issue.

Posted on 04/24/13 at 02:50 pm in response to Catholic Church favors anti-bullying efforts — just not so-called 'Safe and Supportive Schools Act'

Oh, so now they're saying bullying is wrong unless it's directed at the kids at highest risk of suicide? Way to go, Church. Jesus would puke.

Posted on 04/24/13 at 02:54 pm in response to Minnesota Senate nearly grinds to a halt over weird I-35E speed-limit debate

Why is it that every "community" consisting of two house trailers and a silo insists that highway traffic slow to 30 mph for a mile on either side of it, anyway? There are highways, and there are city streets, and they shouldn't be confused. Or blended.

Posted on 04/23/13 at 07:10 pm in response to Why it’s increasingly likely Michele Bachmann will retire

I was SO hoping for a Bachmann/Palin presidential ticket in 2016. Oh well.
