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!

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
