Take populism back from the flim flam man

Thu. Apr. 12th, 2012  |  Forrest Johnson

I’m not quite sure how it happened that the New Conservative Neanderthal Party (NCNP), formerly the Republicans, has managed to pull the old switcheroo on the populist movement. The Tea Party, “The Rebellion to Stay the Same,” is also in on the heist, and I suppose to a lesser degree so are the religious factions who somehow have lost sight of the words from the original populist, one Jesus of Nazareth, t

Minnesota Nice

Thu. Apr. 12th, 2012  |  Harry Drabik

The Northland shares the “nice” tradition, a reputation to be proud of. When I think of the unconscious discrimination and stereotyping present when I grew up, it’s hardly asking too much to exercise some self-restraint. On the other side, there are those who see “nice” as objectionable. To them, the habit dangerously intrudes political correctness into free speech. There’s merit there, too, because free speech is nothing to take lightly or for granted. Indeed, there are risks in being too nice or overly correct, if in so doing one becomes either doormat or an enabler. The individual must retain the right not to be nice for use as needed.

Stripped

Thu. Apr. 12th, 2012

I have said it before and will happily state it again: we basically get little to no news up here in northern Minnesota. Unless you are an internet-scouring newspaper junkie like me, if the only source of your news is the Duluth News Tribune, you are in trouble. You probably have no clue what kind of insane opposition “free” Americans are actually dealing with. The DNT basically publishes nice little stories about naughty pets that run away from home and then come back home, bears cubs born in Ely, and once in a while differen

HR is reading this, and I don’t care

Thu. Apr. 12th, 2012

I have a job interview coming up, and since my columns are available online, I should probably be on my best behavior this week. I should probably write a faux column about how much I love kittens, or how mean Hitler was, or perhaps share a really great recipe for apple brown betty. It would be smart to do that, but honestly, I don’t give a sh*t.I cease to give a sh*t. I shan’t give a

Food of the Week: Mushrooms

Thu. Apr. 12th, 2012

For some people, mushrooms inspire devotion. For others, they provoke disgust. If you are among the latter group, you can still try some of the recipes here—the penne casserole, the consommé, and the mushroom puffs—with the mushrooms omitted, perhaps with a substitution of another ingredient. If you are like me and love mushrooms, I hope you enjoy these recipes in all their fungi glory.

Scarlet Rivera, Dream-Weaving Violinist from Dylan’s Desire

Thu. Apr. 12th, 2012  |  Ed Newman

In preparation for this year’s Dylan Fest, the Armory Arts & Music Center is presenting a concert featuring famed violinist Scarlet Rivera with Gene LaFond & The Wild Unknown on the Weber Hall Music stage at UMD. The May 18 concert is called Desire In Duluth because Scarlet’s mesmerizing violin contributed significantly to Dylan’s sound in his Desire album. Scarlet’s career in music has spanned many genres, from rock to jazz (she performed with Duke Ellington’s orchestra at Carnegie Hall) to world music and even Celtic sounds.

With Professor Russ Stewart

Fri. Apr. 13th, 2012

It’s always fascinating to delve into different doctrines and governing philosophies around the world. People go to college and even make careers out of studying various methods of thought that are unfamiliar to their own. Liberalism, communism, socialism, fascism, capitalism and conservatism all conjure up different feelings for different people. Russ Stewart is connoisseur of isms. He’s been on all sides of the field and being a philosophy professor, validating or discussing di

Aaron Tank: Dancing With No Music

Fri. Apr. 13th, 2012  |  Paul Whyte

Aaron Tank is a singer/songwriter from Bemidji, Minn. and for several years he has played around the area; everywhere from the Twin Ports to up the Northshore. Just recently he played several shows around town such as at the Pizza Luce’ brunch and at the Thirsty Pagan Brewery. “Dancing With No Music” is Tank’s second official CD release. It is primarily a laid back folk album that brings in perso

Wild Deserve Luxury Of Fans’ Patience

Fri. Apr. 13th, 2012  |  John Gilbert

The NHL season has ended, and the REAL season is just beginning. It’s a Canadian Fact that all NHL fans are vitally interested in the regular season, but when the last puck is dropped, all Canadians and nearly all U.S. hockey fans consider the Stanley Cup Playoff champions as the best team in the NHL.

Fri. Apr. 13th, 2012

FRENCH RIVER… The greatest hockey tournament on the planet is now set and ready to go! The NHL regular season concluded Saturday, and while some clubs were just playing out the schedule, others had some important playoff seeding to attend to. The Phoenix Coyotes had their first division title ever and first round home ice on the line when they met the Wild in St. Paul, and they prevailed by a 4-1 score and made team history in the process. This game also affected th
