  • Sad Sack

    Question:  Is there a worse editorial cartoonist in America than the Strib’s Steve Sack? No, not Ted Rall – while he’s more morally depraved than Sack, he doesn’t work for a paper. No, not Ken “Avidor” Weiner – he’s not an editorial cartoonist. Here’ s his latest excretion “creation”: In addition to the tired “Bachmann is…

  • First Annual Twin Cities Blog Cartoonist Contest

    With the entry of my “evil” twin brother Jed into the world of low-end didactic cartooning,the hue and cry has been overwhelming; we need a contest. Who, indeed, is the best blogger/cartoonist in the Twin Cities? For years, it’s been generally recognized that Tom “Swiftee” Swift- auteur  of “Life In The Dumpster” -has been the…

  • Minnesota Liberals: Re-Writing Writing

    Conrad DeFiebre is not one of the bad ones, as a general rule, as far as media types are concerned.  While he was a Strib writer for about 600 years, he was also one of the reporters that could tell a balanced, fair story.  He was the first reporter from either of the dailes (to…

  • Pr0n Industry Temp sez: “Rules Are For Peasants”

    As you’re no doubt well aware, True North – my other blog – deleted a contributor yesterday for plagiarism. True North took immediate action.  Unlike other local blogs with printed codes of ethics, we actually acted…ethically, when an ethical infraction surfaced.

  • Strib: Preferred By Four Out of Five Stalkers!

    Ken “Avidor” Weiner is apparently using the Strib’s “Buzz.mn” to carry on his obsession with trying to “smear” regional conservatives with the most tenuous possible “guilt” by association.  Let’s see how many times the former Screw Magazine “art director” bobbles the “facts”: Time Magazine named Powerline Blog of the Year in 2004. Perhaps as an…

  • And That Whole “Jesus” Thing…

    Australian Santas-in-training (?) told ho,ho,ho is sexist and derogatory: Thirty trainees at a Santa course in Adelaide last month, held by recruitment company Westaff, were urged to replace the traditional festive greeting with “ha, ha, ha”. Thankfully, not everyone is jumping on the sleigh: A Santa veteran of 11 years who attended the course told…

  • Unpleasant Civility

    I’m a pretty normal guy. I’m 44, I live in an old house in Saint Paul with a couple kids, two cats and a dog. I drive a four-door but I’d rather bike. I like good beer, play guitar and a slew of other instruments, have the odd date, meet my friends at Keegans’ when…
