The Washington Post is midway through a series on the huge network of intelligence operations that sprouted up after 9/11. Like much of the rest of our national security, the network is dominated by private contractors and packed with redundancies -- no one knows how many people are being employed or at what cost. Even top political and intelligence leaders don't know the scope of the

National Geographic asked all 100 U.S. senators if they would draw their states freehand to kick off Geography Awareness Week. It appears that Sen. Amy Klobuchar didn't reply, but here's Sen. Al Franken's interesting info-map to our great state.

Actually, it is illegal. In Texas V. Johnson, they voted in favor of Johnson having burned the flag being his right under freedom of speech, but soon after that in 1989 Congress passed the flag protection act. So it's now illegal

I&#39;ve had great experiences with my credit union. I was overdrawn a few times last month (buying presents for special people) and they automatically moved money from my savings to my checking so I didn&#39;t get an overdraft. You should get a credit union. You&#39;ll feel much better.

It&#39;s obvious that the cop just randomly picked him out of the crowd and wanted to hurt anyone. He was turned around until moments before... and then lashed out at the guy for no reason.<br /><br />If there wasn&#39;t a camera that just happened to be there, this idiot cop would have gotten away with the whole thing.

Good point. <br><br /><br />It&#39;s important to remember that Bob Anderson got about 10 percent of the vote running as the Independence Party candidate. Even though Tinklenberg had the IP endorsement, Minnesota law forbids a candidate to list two party affiliations (the policy harks back to the Farmer Labor party, which was poaching progressive Republicans and Democrats). <br> Anderson could do

Hopefully the DFL will endorse soon. Voters in the 6th district, regardless of their party affiliation, have already shown that they approve of state Senator Clark&#39;s level-headed approach to the many issues that Minnesotans are faced with during this country&#39;s difficult economic crisis. It&#39;s highly doubtful that the good people of Minnesota will want to continue to be emabarassed by

I served on the jury that convicted Brian White of Chris Johnson's murder. I hope that his wife Michelle will find peace in knowing that her husband's death has not gone un-noticed. May God protect her and her family and know that Chris is rocking it in heaven.

"And I'm ALL for the end of the five dollar touring band show, especially if they're a halfway known commodity. It's been five bucks since 1983 for christ's sake."<BR/><BR/>Definitely. I'm in a metal band, but I admire the whole punk and DIY attitude so much.

Actually, the reporter did question it. Read the follow up article in Winona, instead of just the quick wire story.

Hey, i was one of those activists! the police told us they didn't know why they had to pull us over, and while i was in handcuffs an undercover officer told me we "weren't being detained"!! <BR/>anyway, where did you get this picture? we've been trying to find pictures of us in cuffs but haven't.

This could not happen in a worse place for the Republican Party and a better place for those of us who support progressive causes. Carry on with the mass protests. I only wish that I could be there with you.

Beautiful column, if a little generous to the bike messengers. The "real" messengers are mostly law-abiding; but the poseurs are the ones clipping pedestrians in crosswalks because they're not too good at quick-stopping their fixies.<BR/><BR/>And you completely left out us commuters. We're the ones in street clothes, taking the bike lanes at a lowly 11 mph (thereby throwing of the spandex

Hey anonymous, <BR/><BR/>You can settle down, the article is mostly satirical (the bike threat!?), which I hope would be obvious from the context,from the introduction, and from the internal links to previous entries on bikes. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing to me that I was able to piss off both you and the original City Pages writer.

You just trashed most bicyclists with a broad swipe. I commuted to college twenty years ago on a fixed gear (with fenders &amp; lights); I&#39;m a retired racer; I&#39;m an activist; and I tow a trailer once in a while to haul freight, rather than enrich OPEC. I don&#39;t need to run stop lights or stop signs to arrive at work on-time, even in the most unholy weather. You won&#39;t catch me going

I like the smoky aftermath and bangs and pops for hours after Powderhorn. It sucks that some people get hurt, but people drown by swimming unsafely at times too and I know you wouldn't suggest not swimming? This is a nuisance I enjoy - even as someone who lives in a neighborhood (West Phillips) with it's share of gun violence. Anyway, those worm things stain sidewalks and were only really

Since when do journalists "take the other side" of ANY issue against an academic source?<BR/><BR/>Stuff like this is proof that Fox News Channel produces right-wing advocacy journalism, and not much else.<BR/><BR/>A book review, or a news story about disaster capitalism needs additional sources for variant viewpoints, not obnoxious reporters.<BR/><BR/>Also: what an excellent blog, Jon!
