THE EMMER BUDGET PLAN - 02 Sep 2010
Less than two months to go until the election, with stores already displaying their Holiday wares, and Tom Emmer has yet to release his budget plan. Which do you think will come first, Christmas or Emmer’s plan?

Of all the crass and outrageous remarks attributed to GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer, his remarks over this past weekend point up his total disconnect with reality. Emmer suggested, that to stimulate small business and the hospitality industry, that waiters, busboys, etc. should have their tips calculated in their salaries, and wages reduced accordingly.

RANDOM POLITICAL MUSINGS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY - 04 Jul 2010
TOM EMMER…I haven’t met Tom Emmer, although we have extended an invitation for him to appear on “Access,” but a quote of his sticks in my craw, particularly on this Independence Day in the greatest nation in the world. Emmer, the GOP gubernatorial candidate in Minnesota, who not only seeks to succeed Tim Pawlenty, but […]

One can only wonder what happpened to Tim Pawlenty — a man from a blue collar, hardworking family, the only one who made it to college, who enjoyed the benefits of financial aid along the way, good-looking, intelligent, engaging, a man who led the Minnesota legislature, and then the State, as Governor.
Somewhere along […]
SHORT TAKES - 08 Nov 2009
THE CHUTZPAH AWARD - To Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, an outstanding mayor who announced his run for Governor only two days after winning re-election in November, 2009. So much for serving out your term.
PAWLENTY OF QUESTIONS - As Governor Tim Pawlenty cruises the nation seeking the GOP Presidential nomination, disingenuous in his denials, one wonders […]
THE SHAME OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL - 03 Jul 2009
There was a time when the Wall Street Journal was respected as an organ of journalism in the country — along with the NY Times, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor and others. Then Rupert Murdoch bought the WSJ, and there goes a century of reputation.
This is not to say the the Journal was […]
THE MINNESOTA MONARCHY - 20 May 2009
There has been much too much space devoted here to Gov. Tim Pawlenty in recent weeks, plus an article in the Politics in Minnesota blog in which Sarah Janecek compared TPaw to George Patton (a dreamscape which I hope was dissected with a review of the 90% of Patton which wasn’t the warrior) but […]

Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who still harbors Presidential aspirations even after a last-place finish at a recent GOP caucus and popularity contest (is that an oxymoron?), faces a no win situation when the results of the tedious Franken/Coleman Senatorial race are finally decided by the Minnesota Supreme Court. The GOP wants Coleman to seek an […]

I thought that Gov. Tim Pawlenty should have been the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate in the 2008 elections. He was first out of the box for McCain, and appeared to be a lock, but he got shafted. Along comes Sarah Palin, the rest is history, as she immolated Republican chances, and all the while Pawlenty […]

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is, and has been, locked into a “No New Taxes” philosophy during his entire tenure. This, of course, is absurd when at the same time he pushes obligations mandated to the state back to the cities, where homeowners are saddled with burdensome increased property taxes, where school districts are forced […]
