Podcast 116

I’m getting an ominous feeling about the next couple of weeks. MH370 is still a mystery. Russia is massing troops at the Eastern gate of the Ukraine and the White House seems confused. What does the US intend to DO about this, if anything. SHOULD the United States do anything? With winter over, the story line is now it was the worst winter ever in the upper Midwest, which feeds the story line that our slow economy is the result of … bad weather. Now the Met Council is fighting with the City of Minneapolis, the new Mayor of Minneapolis Betsy Hodges, the residents of Kenwood and Lake of Isles Neighborhoods, environmentalists, and bike nazis. It doesn’t get any better than this! Plus, court protection for pets in distress, NASA studying the fall of Rome, Brad Pitt’s modernist ghetto in New Orleans and much more!

Podcast 112

Podcast 112 is your midweek update. Congressman Paul Ryan spoke at the Center for the American Experiment in Minneapolis on Saint Patrick’s day, 2014. Ryan said a lot of good things, and there will be more from this speech in future podcasts, but I take exception with one statement. There is no ‘center right movement’. There’s a liberty and tea party movement, but moderates by definition aren’t a ‘movement’. Plus, where I think flight 370 is, why the west will do nothing about the Russian annexation of Crimea and why inaction is dangerous, the heavy energy of late March and early April. Of course my favorite stories of the week so far, including government mandated ear plugs (only in Minneapolis), Amtrak and the Oasis on the North West tollway in Chicago.
