I flew back to MN from DC today and, as we’re taxiing into the gate at MSP, there’s an obnoxious younger guy talking loudly on his cell phone.
In the course of his convo, he identifies himself as a former Coleman staffer and mentions that he’s in town for a “pre-concession bbq” that a bunch of former/current staffers are having…
This - along with the news that the last of the Coleman staffers are getting new jobs - is a sign that the end is near.
Thank goodness. Get Norm out of here.
Hooray!
That sounds at least as impeccable as Politics in Minnesota’s sources.
Thank his noodly appendage. About damn time this was done. Wife predicts Thursday (my birthday) as the day the court ruling comes down.
What kind of post is this? Please. Don’t use this blog to report breaking news and tidbits we can’t find anywhere else. What I want is an endless stream of unemployment statistics, economic theory and wonkish health care policy information.
Please. Leave the breaking news to the other guys. Keep Publius Boring!
Don, I’ll second that emotion…
Anybody else struck by the sheer assholishness of this after listening to the Republican pap about why they were dragging Minnesota through this? Now by definition every politician is at heart an egotistical asshole but this mess has been beyond the call of duty even for Republicans.
Don,
Thanks for saying that. I feel that the tone of MNPublius has been changed over the past couple of months and the creators of the blog should address what kind of blog they want to have. While I think Jeff Rosenberg is a great writer I think he has really changed the tone to the point that he doesn’t fit with the rest of the blog. I hope the creators of MNPublius will take a look at this and possibly move the content back to what supporters originally starting reading the blog for.
I still think Jeff should blog and in fact I would follow him on another blog with in-depth public policy debate, but I feel as though I am not getting the quick witty quips of MNPublius writers with his 3 posts a day.
Please bring back the real MNPublius for us readers. It’s getting to the point where I am no longer excited to flip open my laptop, go to MNPublius and not be excited for a new post. I now have to sift through 8 unemployment and interest rate posts to get to a real MNPublius post.
Thanks for any consideration!
I really want to encourage Norm to run for governor!
I want to see his ass kicked in monumental fashion!
Agree. I’d like to see what little credibility and political capitol Norm still holds flushed down the toilet.
Capitol=capital. *sigh*
