The only way to deal with KK (what's her middle initial, by the way?) Is to briefly skim her column to get the gist then recycle the paper and not ...

Now you're just picking on white people. We steal from disability. Wear baseball caps when we travel overseas. What else?
Here's another winner, Rat. Guess it takes all kinds to commit fraud, swandog. Disability funding comes out of your paycheck, too. I think his name...

mnblrmkr- I think kwatt must know his Marxist theory very well. Marx believed that religion and communism/socialism were not compatible. That's wh...
Nah. Just the usual stereotype of people sucking off the taxpayers' teat.

Rural graffiti!

Sweet! The aliens have landed.
8:02 am
Was it aliens or pranksters in MN farm fields?
That’s the question being pondered by folks around Fosston, Minnesota.
The Rat really doubts that claim.
8:26 am
OMG THEY DON’T LIKE WATER!
8:48 am
What claim? It was a question.
8:51 am
What claim?
That people in Fosston were seriously considering whether space aliens made the circles.
9:03 am
pictures or it didn’t happen.
9:07 am
I agree with Rat. Go to a cafe in Foston this morning and find one person who is seriously pondering if aliens did this. You probably won’t because the one person who thinks it’s aliens is probably the town dunk, and town drunks never ever wake up in time for breakfast at the cafe. You can ask for him at the bar around 10:30.
A better reporter would have gone to the local builder’s center and asked the cashier if an unusual transaction involving rope, boards, and teenagers recently took place.

They should also keep watch on their cows…
9:11 am
I wonder how much crop a farmer can lose at the hands of these little pricks.
9:19 am
My bad, that was me just turning around. Ever since I lost OnStar in my car I keep getting lost.
9:20 am
That’s the question being pondered by folks
What’s the dividing line between people and folks?
Can folks live in Northeast Minneapolis?
I bet only folks go to the State Fair and people go to Bastille Day in the Warehouse District.
9:20 am
This water is contaminated.

Rat, you mean the minature penis aliens?
9:28 am
guess what, people/folks?
hipsters call you ‘civilians’
9:42 am
Is that implying that you think you’re a hipster wayne?
9:59 am
no, I just hang around with them sometimes
10:00 am
Some reporting was done by Chuck Haga, now up at the Grand Forks Herald. If the local high school biology teacher didn’t suspect aliens, he was at least playing along by taking samples of the wheat to see if there was dehydration, scorch marks, or other chemical changes that couldn’t be created by a wheat-flattening board.
In the article the guy who owns the fields says it could have been aliens, teenagers, “or maybe it was me.”
10:04 am
Hey, I’ve known Chuck Haga for about thirty years.
10:04 am
Re: the people/folks divide, I prefer the old DEVO dichotomy: mutants vs. jocks.
10:08 am
If Chuck Haga remembers me, it’s not fondly.
10:14 am
I don’t know Chuck Haga, so I thought I should share that.
10:20 am
I boffed Haga’s mums
10:32 am

He’s got that new hipster smell and misplaced hipster rage!
10:34 am
Hipsters are too bored with everything to posses any rage.
12:38 pm
He’s got that new hipster smell
I do *not* smell like the aftermath of a sweaty cocaine binge, thanks.
1:05 pm
I bet only folks go to the State Fair and people go to Bastille Day in the Warehouse District.
And hipsters go to neither.
