Skug and jane - I pretty much agree. (Boring!)
It is the point when defense contractors also suck off the public teat. Corporate welfare. Puts dollars in Dick Cheney's pockets.

I’m starting to think what cities need is a general alternative vehicles lane: bikes, Segways, slow scooters and those little electric vehicles, Pedal Pubs, etc. There’s going to be an explosion of them, or at least there should be. The lanes would have to be a little wider than bike lanes, and more consistent – no random starting and stopping. The only difficult part is the high variability in alternative modes of transportation – different speeds, sizes, etc.

I got to MinnPost multiple times a day. I go to City Pages once or twice a week, usually to read the restaurant review and see the calendar.

Dyani That was refreshing to read. Now I don’t see him as a mega-douche, he’s now a mini-mega douche.
Well done “Dyani”.

Pawlenty is a nice enough fellow. He just happens to be a bad governor.

Dyani’s a frequent funny commenter on my blog. Quality material.

I think state rep Pat Garofalo is the same way. He’s a really nice guy, and one can get on famously with him, as long as you keep politics and religion out of it.
It reminds me of a good chunk of my family, actually.

You know Pat?

I used to be a reporter and would talk to him for background and interview him officially for stories. We haven’t hung out and had beers or anything, but I always thought he was a really cool guy.

He is.

I don’t know that a general alt vehicle lane would work terribly well. The variable speeds are a huge issue, and a wider lane like you’re saying would all too often be used as a bonus lane by idiots in cars.
Also, I would just like to reiterate here that Pizza Luce sucks and it baffles me that people line up for sauce that tastes of burnt garlic and plasticine cheese.

A comedian eh? Wasn’t sure if I should read the comment as humor or jejune; like T-Paw the Mega-Douche wakes up every morning wondering how he can ruin our lives, thus warranting the moniker. He has to be one of the more RINO-ish politicians out there. I digress.

I’ll admit to treating the bike lanes around the Capitol as regular driving lanes. They’re dumb.

They should legalize atv’s in the cities.
