Dining with Dara: Duluth becoming state’s premiere destination for beer tourism | Minnesota Public Radio News
I realize the ridiculousness of the the following statement, but Duluth is our new San Diego.
By that I mean that it is a little over four hours away, is on the water, a definite vacation spot with good food and neat things to do.
I have had some great work experiences up there in the past and have enjoyed my time there with the family.
If you ever end up there, go to Pizza Luce. There is at least one in the Twin Cities, but do yourself a favor and go to the one in Duluth.
And now, an ever expanding beer scene. Don’t get me wrong, this is already in existence. Beer culture is alive and well. Carmody’s is probably in my top five bars I have ever been to. Nothing special about it except that the beer is amazing, the atmosphere even more so and it is just a good – but tiny – place to hang out. And now they have their own beer.
I can’t wait to go give all the new stuff a try.
Komen Foundation makes major blunder in joining abortion fight | Jay Bookman
The big update today is that the Stingy Goon Komen for the Crass people are “giving in” to their plan to defund Planned Parenthood. First, they haven’t. They have decided they’ll still open their mail when they ask for money. Which is like me telling the Klan/GOP I won’t immediately burn their mail on receipt. In short, it means nothing.
Second, an outfit with huge admin costs who went all in for the Galtists/Talibangelicals just wants to sweep their hatred under the rug. Those a-holes have got another thing coming if they think any pink item ends up in our shopping carts. Screw them.
Third, this is another of those damned non-apologies. Stop pretending they are.
Fourth, they swear they won’t give money to outfits under criminal investigation. So how did Penn State get $70-odd million dollars? Hmmm.
Anyway, here is some earlier reporting, starting off with this critique of the politics of the decision.
MaddowBlog reporting from the beginning, yesterday, and this morning.
Here is that deleted retweet you may have heard of from Komen’s VP of Bigotry Karen Handel.
Last but not least is this Joan Walsh article on the practice or GOP religious bullying and bigotry across the board.
