The Paterno blunder up close, Giffords’ goodbye video, solving suicide in northeast Minnesota, the return of Art Shanty, and stuff public radio listeners say
MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Five by 8
Avatar power, why don’t you know your tax bracket; lights, camera, outrage; how a political party went broke; and what’s in the Cougar name?
The next move in the SOPA debate, Packer proud, just deserts, who should own Nell the dog, and your daily Ricky.
Suicide and shameful secrets, the changed soldiers of Iraq and Afghanistan, where do you get your news, the old gang at Target Center, and embracing winter.
Whatever happened to ‘women and children first,’ tough times in the wild; an orchestra, a viola, and a woman; how it’s all connected to the weather, and how the world might end.
Does ‘the speech’ pass the test of time, putting the ‘awe’ in ‘awesome,’ the human side of scorn, delaying dreams, and the last week of Gary Eichten.
We’re from Minnesota. We’re here for your women. Plus: the skyway effect, the agony of defeat at Crashed Ice, a deadly ‘whoops’ in Chicago, and a toilet-paper-folding record.
The few but not the proud, the neighborhood where Terrell died, treated like dogs, build your own president, and bottles of hope.
When is it time to give up, the days of Gary, what Ike wouldn’t like, I can see your life from here, and 10 Minnesota bloggers you should be reading.
The pain index bottoms out, Best Buy from the inside, apples to Apple, the candidates who keep politics ‘interesting,’ and the cupcake incident upon further review.
The nature of humanity, the curse of the branded building, the 60 Minutes stem cell fraud story, falling through thin ice, and when the bungee cord breaks.
Forty-five is the new 60, saving the Arboretum or destroying it, the bus people of Fargo, the Twins natives are restless, and temperatures are up and pants are down.
The blender mystery, Jabby’s fight, post Iowa, swing ’til you puke in a nuke plant, and the art of rejection.
Iowa up close, holiday winners and losers, the rich Minnesotan you’ve never heard of, crossing the Constitution, and tone it down, Timberwolves!
