MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Five by 8
Destroying Winter Carnival evidence, love stories, trying kids as adults, a memo from the overhead bin, and photo contest winners.
The joy of cold, the joy of sandbagging, the joy of breakthroughs, the joy of the iPhone, and the nurse who allegedly stole a surgery patient’s pain med.
Paying to play, talking txt, roundabouts reconsidered, the point of no return, and busted in a boom.
The only question remaining from the Super Bowl, the great Ziploc controversy, the South Shore gets its day, snowblowing the roof, and should college kids be allowed to rent in your neighborhood?
Nye’s loses its star, the airline monopoly in the Twin Cities, racism and the false police report, the obligatory Super Bowl ad post, and hunting via the Internet
The cookie revolution, where does Minnesota’s toxic waste go, redefining rape, football skeet, and the battle of Lake Shore Drive.
Are you feeling left out of the big blizzard, have you seen you, Fred Yiran, put the hand-helds down, and no beer at the fair.
Why do you text while driving, people doing good, more embracing winter, should federal law pre-empt Minnesota gun laws, and voices from Egypt.
Celebrating winter…. again, why are you here, from toys to men, online gym, and social media and the art of revolution.
Myths of Challenger, the most important question: Why, is it time to get out of the recreation business, are small airports a threat, and crows eating.
Why don’t long-term unemployed have a job, Tim Pawlenty: the sequel, heroes and zeroes, and the joy of human hibernation explored.
Should a Packers tie get you fired, the Chipotle firings, happy Swap Day, running in place at work, and the Iron Range weasel’s workout.
Travails of the tired pilot, Tim Pawlenty: The movie, funerals by webcast, how I became a Minnesota pineapple farmer, and the vanishing mention of war.
Business and the border states, you’ve reached the end of the Internet, the lost blizzard film, the Wind and Mr. Ug, and are you a narcissist?
