Secrets of the City

RE: Streetlight article

Nizolek is an intolerable, self-righteous busy-body. The same person that decided that 331 was no longer acceptable now gets some press time telling us how he knew all along that the streetlights were terrible. He misses the glare of the spotlight now that he’s no longer a City Councilor.

And Orfield is a notorious self-promoting BS artist. Do a quick google search and check out the press clippings he’s managed to weasel himself into. Blech.

John Wertjes, on the other hand, is the very definition of a public servant. If you’ve never seen him speak at a neighborhood meeting, he does Minneapolis proud.

This is already better than usual.

Merry Xmas, Chuck.

Between the Minneapolis street lights and the bicycle bridge I can’t stop laughing! What a great Christmas treat!

Sure glad Sabo found a way to make those suckers in North Dakota and Louisiana and Arizona and Mississippi pay money out of their paychecks to build us poor, starving Minnesotans a cool bridge for 45 or so pedestrians. He deserves having it named in his honor, for sure, given how hard he worked to make the big trade that sent a pile of our pay to Alaskans to build them billion-dollar bridges to deserted islands, and to Garrison Keillor to reward him for being a melodious asshat.

I’m sure those Dakotans and Louisianans and Arizonans and Mississippians look at their fed withholding and enthusiastically agree that sending their own paycheck money to us here to build all-important pedestrian bridges was far more worthwhile than keeping it themselves.

What a screwed-up system we have that accords Sabo honors for such self-serving theft from others.

Welcome back, whitey.

Wow, Uptown’s getty dicey lately. There was a unsuccessful mugging last week on 22nd and then a mugging at 32nd a few days later. Now an aduction attempt…
Time to form a roving band of vigalantes.

I’m under the impression that muggings happen quite frequently around uptown.

But that sucks about the abduction stuff. Travel with a friend, I think, is the lesson.

lol@uptown. I’m still feeling safe in the near nordost. I don’t recall any recent muggings up my way.

Does a licensed handgun qualify as a friend? Sure does in my book!

Muggings? No. Shootings? Yep.

Get more Guardian Angels out on the streets in the various neighborhoods, deputize and arm them and let them have at the slimeballs! The cops can’t do it alone!

Sabo = great man

Bobby_b = envious prick

Target = Fascism Merchant

I don’t think the designers at these stores have the time to consider what sort of images they’re using. For example: Wal-Mart was selling a shirt with a Nazi SS logo not too long ago. It’s absurd to think that Target supports the Commies while Wal-Mart supports the Nazis; I think it’s much more likely that they each crank out a lot of crap, and no one in their design departments really gives the images much thought.

Neither do the people who wear faux-old, because they are for the most part thoughtless people.

I gotta wonder about the thinking of anyone wearing a shirt that has something on it, ranging from “World’s Best Dad” to Che Guevara’s mug to “Silly faggot, dicks are for chicks!”, which honestly stopped me dead in my tracks when I saw that shirt just this past year on some moron at the State Fair walking around with his girlfriend. For him, a bad choice in clothing, and for her, a bad choice in boyfriends.

mike, I said the “near” northeast. I don’t hang out in dead president land.
