I think what he was saying is that lawmakers have been too busy poking their noses in the private lives of gay folks to actually get about the business of, well, legislating... you know, dealing with budgets and such.<br /> <br /> Also, I'll fight this one tooth-and-nail: clothing, fashion, hairstyles... this stuff isn't nonsense! It's our life-blood! Oh how I wish straight men from Minnesota would catch on... Mr. bud, I suspect you failed to fully understand Tevlin’s comments.

Perhaps she should sit down and talk with my MIT-educated brother whose fellow programmers are dropping like flies while his company brings in replacements from Bangalore.

Global warming is a hoax, Iraq stockpiled its WMD’s in Syria, and H1B visas pose no threat to America’s aging tech workers. Which lie do you believe?

Combined with Strib REPORTER Jon Tevlin’s recent spout that the gay marriage debate is of “little importance”, we pretty much have the Strib reporter / columnists working at cross purposes for it’s editorial mission.

Just what the affluent suburbanite needs-- more advertorial than MSP already provides. If I were doing it, I'd assume that the target audience was smarter than they give them credit for being, and offer them a magazine that had actual well-written stories bracketing the high-buck ads. (Insert irony icon here.)<br /> <br /> As for Claude and Rick, they are right up there with Kersten and Lileks on the list of stuff I just don't have time to read. new man, I’ve heard that, too.

Prattling on about designer menswear while ‘cruising’ other men is just not what I believe is ‘approriate’ for a metropolitan daily newspaper column.
