The MN GOP in full on whine mode, trying to make a stink – while running up taxpayer expenses – out of what they consider to be privileged access to a poll by Independence Party Gubernatorial candidate, Tom Horner. Luke Hellier’s latest on this over at Minnesota Democrats Exposed, states: According to an affidavit obtained [...]
Vandalism of MN political candidate’s Wikipedia pages isn’t limited to people Luke Hellier claims not to be or know. For example, here’s a recent edit to Tom Emmer’s page: That particular edit was live on Emmer’s page for a whopping 4 minutes before Emmer’s page was reverted back to its previous version by the editor, [...]
Did you know that you can read The Deets on your Kindle? Amazon charges $1.99 / month for this service. Of that, I make 30%, so if enough of you do this, I’ll be able to keep a full stock of quinoa in my cupboards. If you really love your Kindle and think that anything [...]
I tied the new Nice Ride bikes into a run I did through the U of MN earlier this week. I picked up a bike at the Birchwood Cafe and rode to the Nice Ride bike kiosk located on the East side of the TCF Bank Stadium. As I understand the pricing, it’s $5 for [...]
Back on June 22nd, Luke Hellier hyperventilated about a series of edits made to the Wikipedia page of Jim Meffert. As Luke tells the story, an intern from the Meffert campaign was caught editing out unflattering pieces of information from Meffert’s page. However, a closer investigation shows that Luke Hellier severely mislead his readers with [...]

Here is how they voted: Twin Stadium Funding Margaret Anderson Kelliher: FOR Matt Entenza: FOR Tom Emmer: AGAINST Gopher Stadium Funding Margaret [...]
I talk chatting it up with The Other Mike the other day when we got talking about great spirits encountering violent opposition from mediocre minds. The context of this was over-confident, under-qualified meteorologists who posses strong, influential, but underinformed opinions about climate change. Mike challenged me to take a shot at discussing this topic here. [...]
Sounds to me like Biden1. understands the stakes. I prefer this over Michele Bachmann’s preference for allowing BP to drag out paying damages (while collecting interest on the money they’re deferring paying to their victims) in the manner Exxon did after their Valdez spill. It took nearly 20 years for that to move all the [...]
Radisson Scranton TP I’m in Scranton, PA tonight. No signs of Dwight or Michael yet, but I did see a Dunder Mifflin venue on Foursquare. The TP shot above is from the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton. They converted an old train station into a hotel. It’s an awesome building and worth checking out if [...]
A local young Republican lawyer, Matthew Z. Kirkpatrick, was making ends meet in May by delivering phone books, and blogging about it. He blogged about it for two days, but hasn’t blogged since, so it’ not clear how much manual labor he was able to handle. (He did tweet that he made it at least [...]
