And for those others of you who have been SO interested in court
happenings *cough*Eva Young*cough* let's all take a minute to review
another dismissal. I know some of you may be disappointed, but life
continues to go on and I'm sure you'll find someone else to rag on
during the coming weeks.
Higher property taxes? Oh, that is a shock.
Maybe we should all start knocking on doors and asking someone else to pay
the higher tax bills for us. I'm sure my neighbor with the "Happy to Pay for
a Better Minnesota" sign on her lawn will gladly pay my taxes, won't she?

African American and immigrant voters are indeed increasingly
a voting block to be reckoned with in the suburbs and even rural

I hope the whole dang state goes smoke free. As a kid that grow up with
severe childhood bronchial asthma...as a direct result of both a parent who
smoked and growing up in the late 70s/early 80s where walking down the
street was enough to give one black lung...I am all about the smoking ban.

Mr. Surmak's argument would be stronger if it wasn't for the fact that

The smoking ban dynamics are not hard to figure out80% of voting adults
in Minnesota don't smoke, and are most likely to support a complete ban and
resist any attempts to revisit the issue. Personally, I think a total ban on
smoking is a crock and a violation of privacy rights; I think t

Often when CM Dziedzic speaks, it's anyone's guess as to what he means.
However, I think when you examine this particular statement (included at

Does anyone have an estimated breakdown of the voters in the mayoral election
by whether the voter was a man or a woman? I saw an interesting theory
advanced that women overwhelmingly voted for Rybak.
