Have I politically sorted myself?
I listened to the Midmorning show on MPR the other day where they chatted about "The Big Sort." The book, of the same name, was written by the show's guest Bill Bishop. He stated that the divisiveness in American politics is really our own fault. We have chosen to live in communities with... Read more...

Happy 22nd Day to me
I read a horoscope stating that the 2oth and 21st of this month would be difficult for me. They weren't, but that is not like me to truly believe in such predictions. I do, however, have a favorite lucky number: 22. ( and no Dani, you can't steal it back! )Yes, it is quite a number for me. Not... Read more...

HourCar Year 1
For those reading this who now dreading their addiction to oil at $4 a gallon and rising, why not go car-lite before going completely carfree? I am not completely carfree, though I haven't owned a car since 2003. There are moments when I need one, or others need a ride. In such cases I use... Read more...

Compassion vs. Communism
Or is it peace versus authoritarianism? People tend to see them as interchangeable.Having just seen the movie Kundun rented at Blockbuster, I cannot fathom why Mao did not want to work with the Dalai Lama to achieve their goals. The Dalai Lama was told by Mao that "religion is the opiate of the... Read more...

Good time to be a Minnesotan!
Okay, I am not going to go on about Sesquicentennials or anything. I would prefer to discuss more positive things like Atmosphere coming out with a killer album and Jesse Ventura with another book.Atmosphere's new album is the most eclectic and ambitious album they have put out yet! Not to put... Read more...

May Day 2008
Josiah and I were both in this year's May Day parade. We marched with Farheen Hakeem's campaign right ahead of the Green Party.This year's May Day theme was "Building Bridges." And might I say that the message was one sorely needed society-wide. We are heading for an impending collapse - just as... Read more...

Wind-powered Casino?
Okay, few think of "green" when they think of gambling, but patrons will be welcomed by a wind-turbine come August. Xcel energy ( coal and nuclear power ) is their primary source of energy , which I believe is supplemented by a hydrocarbon-based generator during peak demand. The Shakopee... Read more...

Media Parrots
Am I the only one irritated by these people? I know they are well meaning, but they are those who always bring up the news headlines but have nothing to actually say about it. Well, they do have something to say: exactly what the pundits and analysts say. Usually word for word, or summarized even... Read more...

Videos that should be seen ( but rarely are)
I know that one can do a lot of searching on YouTube for obscure bands and come up with a lot, but other times nil. I listen to the Current but also run into many in odd ways also. I will go through some videos that are unique, creative, and yet still entertaining.Mates of State - this band is... Read more...
