Brian from MPLS sent me this about his experiences;

 

Here’s something I put up on the RNC arrests of journalists.

The site may look familiar. There still a lot of things that are being sorted out through this. I did go to a forum between journalists, cops and the city of St. Paul. I asked the Asst police chief of St. Paul why some journalists were released at the scene and others were sent downtown. He said there was a “gap in communication.” Interesting….

 

This post points to two more stories of journalists in the same situation.

I saw this in McKennan park today. Thought the Al Franken sign was a nice touch – I wonder if Daugaard lives there?

LMFAO- Saw this video today, I think the kid nailed it. “I hope you hit a whale on the way to France.”

Seems the McCain campaign is spinning the Hockey Mom status of Palin a little further . . . I always thought she was a VPILF instead?

The school board decided to not let extremists distribute their crap in the schools anymore, but the Gargoyle Leader has even a better idea . . . junk mail and spam. Yeah, that’s a GREAT IDEA! this from the same people who endorsed Vernon Brown and the sales tax hike.

Perhaps there still is some way for the school district to help those groups whose important missions revolve around helping children grow and learn. Electronic communication quickly is becoming universal. Some sort of opt-in e-mail distribution list might make sense. The schools could then turn that list over to organizations that ask for it, thereby escaping the middle-man role. The same could be done with mailing addresses.

Scotty Hudson chastises the local TV media

I agree 100% with Scott on this one. I’m always baffled why the local media lets local politicians, convicted felons and whack jobs push them around?

Reminds me of an email exchange I had with a news director at KELO-TV recently. Inside KELOLAND which is produced once a week and airs twice on Sunday had a program a couple of weeks ago about the Sales Tax increase. The first half featured Munson, Brown and Staggers the second half featured two developers, but no citizens (you know the ones who are affected by the tax increase). I emailed the news director about it, and she told me that they featured Munson, Brown and Staggers instead because they are elected by the people and represent the citizens (insert laughter here). I had a pretty long rant I was going to send her about journalistic integrity, etc. etc. but instead I replied “Yes, Staggers did a fine job representing the citizens.”
