Mayday Festival of the 99 Percent

Wed. May. 2nd, 2012  |  Paul Whyte

On Tuesday, May 1, in downtown Duluth, the city was filled with it’s usual mid-afternoon bustle, that was, except on the corner of Lake Ave. & Superior St. where the Duluth Mayday Festival of the 99 percent was in full swing. Members of Occupy Duluth along with other activists were gathered in a general strike against corporate greed. May 1 has long been regarded as a day for worker’s rights and demonstrations have been common on the date and they seem to be gaining in intensity in recent years.

What Did You Do In The War, Daddy?

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

“What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?” was the title of a wonderful book written by Sabine Reichel. Reichel was born in devastated Hamburg in 1946 to Nazi-collaborator parents who were respected in their post-war community but had never talked to her about what they had done during the war years. The truth only came out during Reichel’s young adult years.

The American Middle Class, Wayne Gretsky, Sisyphus, And Rock And Roll

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  Ed Raymond

I am not a hockey fan, but I did play a version of it on a little frozen pond near my rural school District #54 in Morrison County, Minnesota. We had about 25 students, grades 1-8, so we would form two teams out of that mess, put on our four-buckle manure-covered overshoes (none could afford skates so they were banned), carve a stick from a curvy branch, find a chunk of wood, and do battle on reed-infested ice. It was great fun. But I found out later when I was a Fargo high school principal

An Inside Look at Quidam and the Cirque du Soleil

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  Ed Newman

The circus is coming to town! Circuses in America have a long history that goes all the way back to shortly after the Revolution, offering the masses a source of diversion and entertainment unlike anything else. In the days before radio and television, there were as many as a hundred circuses weaving their way about the land. But the circus was not just about spectacular entertainment. At the heart of the circus was an innovative showmanship and entrepreneurism.

The Blue Winged Teal

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  Ralph LaPlant

The male blue winged teal is the only small duck with a white facial crescent. Both genders have a blue patch on the forewing. These signs help make the blue winged teal an easy duck to identify. They are about 15 inches long.

Bad food is behind the anxieties of the conservatives

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  Forrest Johnson

The Parade to Nowhere continues. Arguments that Social Security is failing continue to build across the large segment of the population that is consuming the bio-engineered and amply processed food made to keep cows and humans passive and well-fed while lowering intelligence at the same time.

It’s one or the other

Fri. May. 4th, 2012  |  Harry Drabik

I talked last week with a couple interested in moving up the shore for retirement. Comparing it to their urban area, they asked how newcomers fared along the clearly more homogenous North Shore. I said (and it is true) our little shore communities are uniformly friendly. Then without further thought (a well-documented problem) I added, “But remember, if not born here you’ll always be an outsider, possibly socialist.” They laughed. My com

Minnesota – What’s wrong with you??

Fri. May. 4th, 2012

I don’t usually write two weeks in a row. Usually every other week is what appears to be a safe idea for my over-active imagination. BUT I’m unusually angry this week. I feel like I’m literally being screwed by Minnesota government. So the time has come for a few columns in a row. I’m not new to being screwed by our government. I mean, I get the fact that probably half of the taxes being raped from my paycheck most likely go to the girl down the block with the four kids, a smart phone, and a big-scr

Ramblings Letters: The Cambridge Edition

Fri. May. 4th, 2012

Over the years, I’ve received countless e-mails from readers of this column. Some are from people with legitimate complaints, and the other 99.9 percent are from frail old women who just found out about the internet and haven’t seen a goatse image yet, so they don’t know how much worse things can actually be.

Food of the Week: Fast Food (From Your Own Kitchen)

Fri. May. 4th, 2012

Next week is finals week for me, so not only have I had very limited time to test new recipes lately, but I also need quick and easy meals for myself. At such times it’s tempting to survive on frozen pizza or food court items, and there’s nothing wrong with occasionally eating these things. The key word is “occasionally,” though. There are plenty of meals you can make almost as easily as
