The Bachmann campaign is going around warning people that recent legislation passed by Congress to save the jobs of teachers will ultimately be, in her words “laundered,” by those teachers to their respective unions. Her opponent, Tarryl Clark, has jumped on these offensive remarks with a new web ad featuring teachers in the district and [...]

Senator Franken speaks out in favor of net neutrality which would keep the internet free and open to all who use it.

A couple months ago I ran across a post from the conservative Minnesota blog, True North, that I decided to bookmark. The post, titled “Obama Admits He Is A Muslim,” basically chastises the media for not calling out Barack Obama as a Muslim.

Last week I wrote about a meeting at which Representative Steve Gottwalt lied right into my camera about his voting record on recent Green Acres changes and fixes. Mr. Gottwalt contended that he had opposed all efforts by the “DFL majority” to make these changes. Yet, when I checked into the voting record it was [...]

I attended a Republican event last week which was advertised as a “town-hall meeting” on changes made to the program known as Green Acres. The event was well attended as local farmers and property owners have legitimate concerns about changes to the program which will take effect in 2013. The biggest concern being that their [...]

The Tribal Law and Order Act was signed into law on July 29, 2010. This is Whitehouse video of that event with a powerful introductory speech by Lisa Marie Iyotte of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe who recounted her own experiences being a victim of rape. The Act will improve enforcement and prosecution of these types [...]

One of the candidates vying for a position on the Minnesota Supreme Court may be defying laws that prohibit churches from intervening in political campaigns. Tim Tingelstad, an extremely conservative court candidate who appears to have connections with groups who deny all existence of the separation of church and state is planning to have a [...]

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Entenza for Governor Campaign is out with a new television ad touting his opposition to “No Child Left Behind” and promising to end Minnesota participation in the program.

Earlier this morning I posted a story about Republican candidate, Scott Newman, who responded to a question about protecting special education funding by wondering out loud if we can really afford to teach special needs children in the first place. In the process, I emailed both campaigns in order to get comment. The Kimball Campaign [...]

Yesterday, in another episode of Gross Inaccuracies, I wrote about a post by Gary Gross that turns out to be a complete pack of lies. That didn’t stop Gross from repeating the lies and then blaming President Obama for the imaginary incident. This morning I clicked on the post to discover that rather than issue [...]

Scott Newman, Republican endorsed candidate for the open state senate seat in SD-18 attended a debate back in February with the rest of the Republican candidates at the time. The event was sponsored by the ultra conservative organization known as Camp America Grassroots who you may remember as the organization that doesn’t know the difference [...]

It’s all over for you commu-fasci-socialist leftist types because the definitive poll has been taken to prove that you are the most super wrong people in the entire universe! Wait, it’s a poll touted by the conservative mouthpiece of St. Cloud? We better take a closer look in our next installment of Gross Inaccuracies.

Part of the problem with the tip credit issue is that it is hard for Emmer to find actual wait staff to come forward and express support for the idea of their wages being potentially lowered by several dollars. For most other issues Emmer need only find supporters in the profession to support his particular [...]

On Wednesday, July 14th, I traveled down to the cities from St. Cloud to the ‘Ol Mexico restaurant in Roseville. I went to witness perhaps the most ill advised political event of all time. Tom Emmer, running as the Republican candidate for Governor in Minnesota, had previously suggested that a tip credit would be a [...]
