The stand off at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada is over, a Blood Moon, and trouble in Ukraine. Here in the Twin Cities, the Met Council is starting to look like the Bureau of Land Management as they pull out all the stops to smooth over progressive officials in Minneapolis proper, in an attempt to ram a train down the throats of the rich people of the Kenwood, Cedar and Lake of the Isles neighborhoods. Oh the jobs! The extra development! The trolley Cars! (Sounds like a children’s book, doesn’t it). Sounds like legal bribery to me. Will newly minted Mayor Hodges fall for it? And if she does, how far will her political future go when the lakes are drained from a tunnel project gone wrong? Plus President Obama’s taxes (He is actually legally avoiding the full tax for his income bracket), and more. Get the top stories to get your week started right. Sponsored by PlanVision. Do you know how much you pay in 401K management fees every year? Does your company’s HR Department know? It could be as much as 2%!  Bumper Music from my friend, Brian Just.

What stories are catching my attention this week? How do the ‘dots’ connect? What to look for, and I round up the top stories midweek. The conspiracy theorists are already filling the factual holes on the mysterious disappearance of Flight 370. Are you getting the right information to make informed decisions about what the US Foreign Policy should be with Russia and the Ukraine, or are you letting cable television ‘entertainment news’ shows do your thinking for you? What can today’s long term unemployed learn from 16 year old coders who are already making money? Are the Koch brothers really the biggest political contributors? (Not by a long shot). And one really angry story about a cat “with a history of violence”. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul.
