Once Franken gets the DFL nomination at his party’s state convention in June his numbers should do up with Democrats rallying around […]
Al Franken tried to come clean by telling the AP his companies owe $70,000 in taxes to 17 states:

The last Krispy Kreme in Minnesota closed:
Six years ago, Minnesotans could hardly wait until the arrival of a Krispy Kreme franchise. Today, that franchise is leaving the state, closing their last store.
The famous glazed doughnut store opened its first local store in Maple Grove in 2002 bringing doughnut delirium to […]
A lesson is learned:
A 500-pound man who was hurt while drifting down a river on an innertube is grateful to the crews who saved him — but says he’d like to lose some weight.
Crews worked for 12 hours earlier this week to rescue 39-year-old Martin Rike. Because Rike was stranded in shallow water, rescuers […]

Tom Rukavina is a member of the Minnesota State House of Representatives. Tommy hails from the northern climes of Minnesota (and, before you say I’m belittling him by calling him “Tommy”, keep in mind, he goes by that name) and likes to rabble-rouse in Minnesota.
His latest tirade has been against Governor Tim Pawlenty and […]

Yesterday, I noted how Minnesota House Representative Phyllis Kahn (yeah, that’s really her) was cited for stealing campaign literature, swapping it out for the candidate she supported.
Fraters Libertas and Mitch Berg did a much finer job of covering this story than I did. But, short of myself and King Banaian, I don’t know what […]
