Cranking Open The Big Brass Nozzle Of Truth Since 2002
One of the best pharmacies in the Twin Cities. Such a senseless act.
Ricks is a prize winning journalist. However his inability to see the nose on his face makes me wonder if he shouldn’t be considered for a Walter Duranty award.
A senseless act, caused by senseless people.
There were a couple of epic responses to his stupid comment.
