Extra! Extra!


The Onion is going to launch a Twin Cities edition in September. It will be good to have another weekly paper in town, as City Pages hasn't had any real competition since the Twin Cities Reader folded in 1997. I'll probably stick with the on-line edition, but it will be interesting to read their coverage of the local scene. It's not clear if the new edition will have satire directed at our region. We certainly offer plenty of material, ranging from our stoic Nordic culture to the monstrosity that is the Mall of America.

Things are not going well when our President is laughed at by the audience he's addressing. Listen to the crowd react to Bush's insightful and cogent analysis of tribal sovereignty issues. It borders on the absurd. it reminds me of law school and some of the lamer answers I heard in response to a professor's question, when the person was absolutely clueless but kept blathering on in the hopes of saying something that might approximate coherence.
