MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Five by 8
The tragedy that happens every 36 hours, rediscovering a son, making friends in Minnesota, leaving vacation time on the table, and changing University Avenue.
You can’t cash gratitude, the last Vietnam soldier in North Dakota, stealing stuff for Christmas, privacy and the secrets you tell the government, and an interview with Temple Grandin.
Readjusting to an academic life, a response to the Strib’s Target editorial, why is recycling so hard, the afternoon Aurora, and the knock-off Stradivarius.
U of M closes a pathway to a better future, droning on, how others see us while shopping, living small, and holiday leftovers from Aitkin.
Just be glad you have a job, the great sleepover debate, why you shouldn’t deep-fry the turkey in the house, should there be religion at a holiday display in Duluth, and the art of writing backwards.
The Pike meme, hard times on Easy Street, the Runestone debate, the look on your face suggests you think this is odd, and Aerosmith on the Vikings
The link between climate change and bad weather, who’s more popular than Aaron Rodgers, the drinking water debate, a Social Security tale of one Minnesota county, and everyday should be National Unfriend Day.
The morality of Thanksgiving shopping, coverage of today’s Occupy march, PETA vs. Super Mario, the undersea world of a mine pit, and why turkeys can’t have sex.
Invasion of the stink bug, war toys for therapy, death of a Munchkin, what now Occupy, and the vanishing Minnesota native.
We’ll give you a second chance, no cake for same-sex couple in Iowa, the new normal is no fun, Tom’s walk, and how a felon in Duluth got his gun back.
The food shelf crisis, one more post about Tom Keith, secret suicide, Tay Zonday on the economy, and the monarchs of Monterey.
The disposable soldier, the kidnappings we pay attention to, newspaper to Jesse: Get lost, Rick Perry’s memory, and the power of power.
A big polling ‘miss,’ Rushford gets out of the booze business, dog dog goose, duck and cover 2011, and a look at a classic prank.
