I had a chance to attend the Green Ideas and Ham meeting hosted by Environment Minnesota at the Red Stag in November. It’s a monthly get togetherto discuss environmental issues in Minnesota, and the breakfast is really good. November’s topic was proposed mining operations near the Boundary Waters. Here is a previous write-up on the [...]
Target Corporation recently announced plans to become a greener company through a combination of supply chain efficiencies, store designs, and waste stream tactics. They’re great goals that should have a significant impact on the environment, considering Target’s size. If Target manages to reduce their landfill waste by 15%, gas emissions by 10%, and water usage [...]
Check out the separate Boys and Girls entrances (in the stone above the arches) to Holy Cross School on 43rd St in NYC. Just a little something I noticed on my way to the Little Pie Company (solid apple sour cream walnut pies).
I had a chance to see Minnpost political reporter, Jay Weiner, at this month’s Twin Cities Media Alliance brown bag lunch at the East Lake Library earlier today.

The Cleveland Fed breaks it down in this video: So, if all of you could figure out how to improve the economy, while simultaneously ruining your own credit, I’d really appreciate the help. [...]
I charted out the recent election’s seniority changes to Minnesota’s delegation in the US House of Representatives: The Oberstar to Cravaack flip in the 8th district certainly stands out. That was the only seat to change hands in Minnesota this year, so all other seats gained in seniority. Colin Peterson, in the 7th, gained the [...]
Andy Post took the time to login and post a fresh post on Minnesota Democrats Exposed on Tuesday night, but failed to address the disgusting comments posted by one of his commenters. As I mentioned before, horrible commenting policies attract horrible comments. And, it’s not just the original horrible comments that are the problem. Check [...]
Here is an example of the type of comments Ryan Lyk and Andy Post are willing to host on Minnesota Democrats Exposed: MDE’s time stamps are running one hour fast, so anonymous commenter, sotaman, posted that within an hour of the news breaking about Elizabeth Edwards’ death.
