Among Olson's other accomplishments:
* Keeping uppity city department heads in their places (Ken White).
* Turning a mundane scientific conference into an exciting made-for-TV
extravaganza
* Taking MPD crime-fighting efforts into neighboring cities (those slackers
in the St. Paul police haven't shot anybody all year--Why aren't people
demanding Finney's resignation?).
* Relieving burdened families of their difficult, mentally-ill relations.
In the spirit of this holiday season, we should encourage Olson to keep up
the good work and so, as Scrooge would say, "decrease the surplus population."
