I’m a doctor now. Please just go along with this

Fri. May. 11th, 2012

If you’ve read this column for years, you probably know a lot about me. For instance, you know I cannot accurately recall any events from the years 1998-2002, on account of what experts call “being drunk in college.” You also know I’m a widely respected expert on bears, that I competed in the 1992 Olympics as an Irish gymnast, and that I have a bucket list with “sex with Asian lady”

With Barbara Reyelts: Grammar Nazi

Fri. May. 11th, 2012

Barbara Reyelts may be Duluth’s quintessential newswoman. Her charisma and geniality have greeted Northlanders for years on our evening news program, always delivering the news with consistency and finesse. Barbara is currently the News Director at the Northland’s NewsCenter, in other words, she’s the head honcho. One can’t help from visioning a Duluth-style Veronica Corningstone while in her presence. l would suppose in his hay-day Denny Anderson would’ve been a good Ron Burgundy. Barbara and I recently sat down together at the NewsCenter to talk about life on the airwaves, being a mother and playing the drums in a bagpipe band.

Greeks in a Great Greek Play

Fri. May. 11th, 2012

Maybe you’ve seen “The Trojan Women” or “Iphengenia in Aulus” or “The Bacchae”. Such ancient Greek plays are not for the fun-loving. And yet, thousands of years after these tragedies were first staged, we’re drawn to them. The horrors they portray- if need be, think “Medea”- mesmerize us. The emotions grip us. They are our very own.

Teague Alexy: This Dance

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  Paul Whyte

Teague Alexy is known around the area for his years as a singer/songwriter and his work in the band Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank with his brother Ian. In his latest CD release titled “This Dance,” it is quite apparent that he has developed a sound that pulls upon things that could be compared to artists like Bob Dylan in songwriting and genre but on this album he shines through with his own unique feel as well. The album hinges heavily on deep and meaningful lyrics that remain accessible and there are plenty of interesting and well done things happening with the instruments and recording process that emerge in the songs. The sound that he creates has a sense of timelessness to it. It’s almost as if this album were released 30 years ago or 30 years from now, it’d still hold it’s own.

The Rex Bar - Happy Hour with a View, or a Fun Night Out

Fri. May. 11th, 2012

The new deck area at the Rex Bar, located in the lower level of Fitgers Plaza, has one of the most beautiful views in the city and drink specials that will entice any thrifty visitor.   Maggie Bowman, a bartender at The Rex, was very inviting when I visited on Friday evening. She explained that they had just started to offer happy hour specials this past month and explained the new outdoor patio area.  

Saints Seniors Set Pace for UMAC Title

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  John Gilbert

Being there before meant a lot to Darcy Roach, St. Scholastica’s junior pitcher, and being there for the fourth time meant that Merryssa Tiedeman, one of only three Saints seniors, wasn’t going to wait around to see if somebody else was going to set the offensive tempo -- and she’s the leadoff hitter.

Vikes Stadium Bill Showdown, Cup Tourney Closes In On Conference Finals, & The Mfan NHL Power Rank!

Fri. May. 11th, 2012  |  Marc Elliott

THE METROPLEX…. The HHH MetroDome opened its doors for the first time in April of 1982. I was at the first event to ever be held there, an MLB exhibition game between the Twins and Pete Rose’s Philadelphia Phillies. The Twins and the Vikings had both lobbied for a new stadium, with the Twins’ main push for a domed building based upon fan certainty that they could come to the ballpark and not be prevented from seeing a game due to a rainout or other weather event. The Vikes, I believe, liked it because the old Met Stadium had seen its better days and they could obtain a larger live audience with a new locale to play in.

Has There Been a Fascist Coup in This Country?

Fri. May. 18th, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

Many of us who are anti-imperialists and therefore also antifascists will sadly recall that following the stolen presidential election of 2004, John Kerry inexplicably and far too readily conceded defeat, despite the evidence that the infamous Diebold voting machine fraud had given the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove/Bush administration control of the White House for another four years. Following the 2004 electoral coup (see the powerful documentary about the election fraud of 2000, entitled “Unprecedented: The Battle for the Presidency in Florida and the Undermining of Democracy in America”), a politically savvy and historically knowledgeable acquaintance of mine from the East Coast (who happens to be Jewish) wrote an important essay that I attach below.

ObamaCare, The Supremes, And Pelvic Pyromania

Fri. May. 18th, 2012  |  Ed Raymond

I suppose many people think that the old evolutionist Charles Darwin caused enough trouble with his “Origin of the Species” without getting involved so much with pleasurable, powerful, and restricted sex. We do need sex to survive—and Charles came up with another irrefutable idea: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Soon we will get some kind of a decision about the A

What’s NATO Ever Done?

Fri. May. 18th, 2012

Wondering why anyone would confront NATO’s May 2012 confab in Chicago? A look at some of its more well-known crimes might spark some indignation. Desecration of corpses, indiscriminate attacks, bombing of allied troops, torture of prisoners, and unaccountable drone war are a few of NATO’s outrages in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, and else-where. On March 20, 2012, Pakistani lawmakers de
