This is remarkably similar to the shit the NFL is pulling here in Minneapolis where we were "awarded" the Super Bowl in 2018. From the local newspaper:

"Free police escorts for team owners, and 35,000 free parking spaces. Presidential suites at no cost in high-end hotels. Free billboards across the Twin Cities. Guarantees to receive all revenue from the game’s ticket sales — even a requirement for NFL-preferred ATMs at the stadium."

The NFL's secret (secret!) list of specifications runs to 153 pages.

Fuck pro sports and everyone involved.

Ya really do have to admire the young man's unabashed brass-
Check this bit o' synchronicity: "Early in his career, Zonday regularly performed at Balls Cabaret at The Southern Theater in Minneapolis."-wiki

Wonder if he and fellow Minnesotan Prince Nelson ever hang out...

I've always said that the tertiary characters from Coen brothers films are literally plucked out of the time and location in which they're set. If you travel to Minneapolis and look around, you will eventually find that blond hostess (2:42). Similarly, if you ever made it down to West Texas (No Country for Old Men), you'd find that overweight, stubborn trailer park lady , or somehow made it back to 1930's Mississippi (O Brother, Where Art Thou?), you'd find the Woolworth's store clerk ready to toss you out the front door.

I know they cast these parts locally when setting up a film, but their casting people are phenomenal at finding just the right people for those parts.

The squatting in a house in Minneapolis was the house of one of my Anthropology professors.

Thanks!

From the Examiner:

Over the past ten days, more than a dozen cities have moved to evict "Occupy" protesters from city parks and other public spaces. As was the case in last night's move in New York City, each of the police actions shares a number of characteristics. And according to one Justice official, each of those actions was coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies.

Dan Savage posted this vid with this commentary:

I was at the 2008 Republican National Convention and on the convention floor when Sarah Palin give her GOP-VP-nomination-acceptance speech. It was kinda scary. So this video is pretty satisfying.

My favorite moment at the 2008 convention: asking the GOP's youngest delegate, who was thrust before me and the "Real Time" camera crew by her media rep, if she was a virgin. When she refused to answer the question I said, "We'll have to take that as a 'no,'" and she got upset. Then I explained to her that the GOP backs abstinence-only for kids her age and so the question was legit. She conceded the point and gave me a hug.

I was, she said, the first gay man she had ever touched. She was, I told her, the first straight teenage Republican whose boobs had ever been pressed against mine. In Minneapolis.

Memories!

There are currently more than 2.3 million people incarcerated in the United States. What does that look like, exactly? That's equivalent to putting the combined populations of Miami, Las Vegas, and Minneapolis behind bars.

I've been to Vegas. No big loss if everyone there got locked up.

L.A. Angels???

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, to be precise.
I am so proud of my city for that one.

[sighs] Anaheim is in Orange County (OC).

Yeah, it sounded pretty dumb when they made the name change. But the Angels were Los Angeles' first sports team from back in 1892. And honestly, Anaheim is a part of the LA sprawl, even if it is technically a different county, so it's not quite as bad as if they called the Lakers "The Minneapolis Lakers of Los Angeles".


1892? Wowser.

UNWANTED is right.

Little by little Shariah is creeping into our society, as per the following examples:

*footbaths in banks & airports (Minneapolis)
*polygamy (USA & UK)
*forced child marriages (Europe & Canada)
*honor killings (USA, Canada, Europe)
*spousal abuse among Muslim immigrant populations (USA & Europe)
*Islamic holidays replacing American holidays like Labor Day (Tyson Foods)
*publicly funded Shariah-Islamic schools (Virginia, NY, Minnesota)
*companies creating Islamic prayer rooms (Wachovia)
*nurses required to turn beds towards Mecca five times a day (UK)
*elimination of wine and alcohol at hotels (Hyatt)
*separation of men and women for recreation activities (Harvard)
*taxi drivers refusing to pick up passengers with wine, alcohol or seeing eye dogs (Minneapolis)
*and a growing Shariah Finance investment market supported by Citibank, UBS, HSBC, Dow Jones, Standard & Pours, and nearly every national investment bank you can think of, which is branding “Shariah” as some innocuous religious accommodation required by “moderate” Muslims
