A Proposal for Vikings Tailgaters: Personal Tailgate Licenses #Wilfare

A certain segment of uber-loyal Minnesota Vikings fans seem to believe that cleaning up a Superfund site so it can then be paved over to create a 21,000 car parking lot is the key to happiness. These same fans have loyally attended every Vikings home game in the Metrodome, so it seems like they are [...]

Viking Supporters Are Opposed to Vikings Stadium Special Session #wilfare

The Fergus Falls Journal has a roundup of opinions from legislators grappling with how to find hundreds of millions of dollars to build a 21,000 car parking lot for Zygi Wilf in Arden Hills (aka The People’s Parking Lot). It’s interesting to note that even legislators who support redistributing the state’s wealth to a guy [...]

Sell the Metrodome to the Players?

Former 7th Congressional District candidate (GOP), Alan Roebke posed an interesting proposal for how to solve the Vikings stadium issue: Sell the Metrodome to the players. So I’m proposing we bring competition or a predator into the Vikings stadium debate by offering the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome to the NFL Players Association for $10, just [...]

Patrick Reusse on The People’s Parking Lot #vikings #wilfare

Patrick Reusse points on in the StarTribune that it’s not in the public’s interest to build a 21,000 car parking lot for Zygi Wilf: The latest rough estimates are $900 million for a stadium at the Metrodome site (including demolition) and $1.1 billion at Arden Hills. Which means, even if Zygi chooses to pout and [...]

Twitter Activity Tab

Twitter’s new activity tab is pretty interesting. It shows who your friends have recently followed, favorited, or retweeted. I’ve already used it to discover some interesting people that I find interesting have found interesting, thus shortening the time until I found them from an eventual retweet to the follow action. But, then I saw this: [...]

Thoughts on Using Legacy Funds for Vikings Stadium #Wilfare

Here is another excerpt from the presentation I gave on 11/3 at the 331 Club to the Drinking Liberally crowd. This one addresses whether using money from the Legacy Fund is appropriate, and whether it has any legs: Building Zygi World! Part II from Steve Timmer on Vimeo. While Michael Brodkorb seems to be on [...]

The Latest Vikings Stadium #Wilfare Astroturfer: @johncasher1

When people start up brand new Twitter accounts and immediately start making ad hominem attacks against me on Twitter, I tend to think they are Josh Hewitt. I don’t know if he’s the guy behind this account yet, but it does mirror his tactics and style. Here is the latest example from earlier today:

IF is a huge word in the Vikings Stadium #Wilfare Debate

The headline to the StarTribune’s polling on Vikings stadium wilfare sentiment really nailed it: If public helps fund new stadium, gambling is top choice The key word being “if”. As the polling clearly stated, the vast majority of Minnesotans do not support public subsidies for a new Vikings stadium. They aren’t opposed to the Vikings. [...]

Faces of Snipe: 612-787-7653 612-787-SOLD Jesse Olson AGAIN – MyHomeBuyers.com

Guess who’s still littering the City of Minneapolis with illegal snipe advertising? Jesse Olson! You may remember real estate agent Jesse Olson from a May 2010 Faces of Snipe. In fact, Jesse Olson was the very first illegal advertiser highlighted in Faces of Snipe. Apparently, Jesse didn’t get the message. I talked to Jesse tonight, [...]
