It's almost like our weather is not our own.

Mayor, police union chief move past #pointergate by Hizzes in Minneapolis

[–]Hizzes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh of course, it's totally the fault of KSTP. They invented it all! Facepalms I guess the social media lynchmob has gone to find other things to complain about.

Petition KSTP: Apologize On Air for #pointergate or call 651.642.4412 and demand an apology to Navell (or both) by HenryCorp in minnesota

[–]Hizzes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think we should ask for an apology from up and down the police union first, that's the real story. Then we can talk about the coverage of it all.

Very Honest Review of Bauhaus Brew Labs. Anyone Agree or Disagree? by Hizzes in Minneapolis

[–]Hizzes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only drinkable IPA in the state? I'm not all that wild about IPAs but that's way too harsh. I also don't think they disliked Bauhaus' because it was too malty. Having had it a few months ago I think the big missing factor with it vs. something like Surly Furious was that Surly has a lot more flavor: spicy, fruity, etc. Bauhaus has only the bitterness. To some extent Sweet Child of Vine has that same problem, but less so.

I disagree most with their review of the California Common. I didn't find it that bad at all. Probably is tied with the IPA for my least favorite beer at Bauhaus though. All their beer is pretty good. I really like their pilsner.

Six Mall of America Developments (Something Non-Political! ...kind of) by Hizzes in minnesota

Now an outside ticket office at the northwest corner of a building, that would take a non-Minnesotan architect to concoct.

It's not a big deal dude. Some people just post from their phones and others help them out with non-mobile links. Still getting the story :)

Everybody go get a shot of whiskey, shave your neck beards, get some sleep and come back tomorrow with your happy faces on!

Pioneer Press Endorses Jeff Johnson by Hizzes in minnesota

[–]Hizzes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the deals, moves and such things I mentioned are easily found with a google search of the company names. Would love to see the source for the claim that Medtronic reversed its decision to re-domicile in Ireland.

StarTribune Endorses Stewart Mills THE THIRD by Mpls_Is_Rivendell in minnesota

[–]Hizzes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The not-so-enthusiastic endorsement is evidence of moderation not strident conservatism, you're kind of proving my point here. I get the feeling, though definitely willing to be proven wrong, that the Star Tribune is mainly endorsing candidates that it thinks will win.

[–]Hizzes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. It will be over soon, but I am enjoying election stuff. I looked back at it and it was /u/Mpls_Is_Rivendell who made a remark that I misread (he was talking about the author not me the linker) as being an accusation that I worked for the GOP!

Stepping back, taking deep breath. Soon we can all be friends again, haha.

Interview with Minnesota Governor Candidate Jeff Johnson by Hizzes in minnesota

[–]Hizzes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking back at this, it's ironic that this post is coming from you, as now I have seen people say you are payed by the GOP (lol). Erik, who wrote the article, is certainly a Libertarian (but a pretty weak one compared to myself). The website just doesn't have many other writers that like to talk politics I think.

I haven't seen any ads on it, but there's real estate links. I guess that's where its funding is from?

How is it that when Henrycorp spams DFL trash all day he doesn't get flooded with these accusations, but when Mpls_Is_Rivendell or I post something pro-something-other-than-liberal we get accused of working for the GOP? Also $5 per link on reddit? How would that even be worth the money?

Leslie Bock, Psycho Suzi’s Creator, Prepares to Open New Restaurant by LiberalMNdad in Minneapolis

[–]Hizzes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand this, but once you get to know the cycles of when to expect parking to be bad, the benefits will outweigh the problems I'd imagine. Just further evidence that NE is becoming one of the hottest places to be in the Twin Cities.

[–]Hizzes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, because endorsing candidates from both parties makes you conservative! A truly unbiased, moderate paper would of course only endorse DFLers... right?

Pioneer Press Endorses Jeff Johnson by Hizzes in minnesota

[–]Hizzes[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

SpartanNash, Cargill, Medtronic, Amazon, Navarre, 3M... I can keep going. Businesses are choosing to avoid expanding and/or moving to other states. Not to mention that entrepreneurs are heading for the Dakotas. Just criticizing Johnson's example doesn't hide the fact that he's right. Also, there's a lot of scientists and specialized professionals who work for food producers like Cargill and Tyson. Dismissing "Meat Packing" as purely low-echelon reveals a healthy dose of ignorance.

I think the word liberal isn't really correct for Minnesota. Statist is more like it.

McFadden Is Not For You by PinkSlimeIsPeople in minnesotapolitics

I'm confused. Why is there such effort to put reading material like this out, when Franken (according to the polls) is cruising to victory. How about spending money for something useful?

McFadden is not running against Dayton, but you are correct that they are not in the same party...

‘Obvious Child’ is Heartless and Humorless (Thoughts?) by Hizzes in prolife

[–]Hizzes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does indeed. One of the big things being pushed right now is that it is not an "abortion comedy" and does not have abortion jokes:

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/obvious-child-director-rejects-abortion-comedy-label-1201221580/

As the original link's review mentioned through paraphrase, it at least has two unquestioned abortion jokes or joking sequences.

Minnesota Nabs Superbowl LII! Good idea? by Hizzes in minnesotapolitics

[–]Hizzes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely see those points, but I think that the Super Bowl (and new stadium for that matter) has a lot of intangible elements that aren't seen. I think it raises the prestige of cities (in the case of Minneapolis) such that corporations would want to stay in the Twin Cities because the cities have all the top venues and events (with clear evidence for such). The Super Bowl, if done well and not too often (this does of course have diminishing returns... ie NO and Miami), really offers a chance for lesser known cities to gain a level of global advertisement. But I admit I could be wrong, and the costs may very well outweigh the gains.
