Yeah, a strict constructionist view of the Constitution demands that building the mosque be allowed.

I guess those who oppose the mosque are against the Constitution, and therefore are un-American!

Maybe they should leave this country!

(In case anyone does not get my sarcasm, I'm parodying the right-wing "logic" that leads to the view that liberals are un-American.)

Unfortunately, Rebecca, we sometimes elect flakes.

See Jesse "The Body" Ventura

Wow.

The RNC spokesman says: "With so many Minnesotans frustrated by the Obama-Pelosi agenda creating perpetually high unemployment ..."

Wow. Just wow.

President Obama and Pelosi have created unemployment?

Wasn't some other guy involved somehow? Named Bush, I think. Yeah, that's it. Bush.

Does Sid still hate Title IX?

John, how long does it take to clean up an eight-year mess?

Shouldn't the president be given a decent grace period, one even longer than two years?

I mean really, eight years is four times as long as two years.

Posted on 08/10/10 at 10:37 am in response to Pioneer Press health beat shuffle and end of the news-side hiring freeze

Does anyone know where Walter Parker is now? He was a former PiPress medical/health reporter who left about 15 years ago.

I always liked his work.

Margaret Dumont, playing straightwoman to all the hijinks and frankly, insults, hurled her way by the Marx Brothers.

Posted on 08/06/10 at 10:09 am in response to McConnell chides Franken: 'This isn't SNL, Al'

Isn't there C-SPAN video available so we can all make well-informed opinions on what Sen. Franken was actually doing?

David Schultz has also worked to advance human rights in the United States and abroad, such as in 2001 when he co-wrote a criminal procedure bench book for judges in Kosovo.

And in 2000, he helped the family of John Anthony Kaiser, a Catholic priest murdered in Kenya to prevent him from revealing evidence that a high-ranking Kenyan government official had raped two schoolgirls.

My vote will go to David Schultz.

To John (#4): And the cite demonstrating that felons are "likely to vote highly democratic" is coming ... when?

In case I wasn't clear, that's the point of Greg's post (#2) that I was calling incendiary.

Whether partisan secretaries of state can influence elections inappropriately is a separate question.
