From the minds of marketers, we’re not afraid of winter, when government works, guns for hockey, and coming out with cake.
MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Five by 8
The Mille Lacs debate flares anew, the NPR game, remembering the astronaut, who’s responsible for LeRoy Hoard’s problems, and the ice boat capital in Minnesota.
The people with a heart, life lessons from a death on Superior, guns and the illusion of protection, immigration and the dairy farm, and the power of eggs.
Maple Grove hockey and the culture that makes kids do things, the highlight of Mr. Avohou’s job search, what cold looks like, bad lip reading the inauguration, and poor rich guys.
Tracking science with hockey, in praise of the curmudgeon, the day in guns, why engineers rock, and when Ricky Rubio isn’t happy.
Write the Washburn story as you see it, the return of Crashed Ice, escape from the cold, playing for Prince, and the world is one big dance.
… it’s the way you respond to the cold, when someone at the door asks for help, the piano player without fingers, the stuff we flush down the drain, and David Carr plays Quizmasters.
Saved by the routine, MLK’s speech in full, throwing food in the air, the wedding ring and the Oil Patch, and what makes Ely unique?
What does Peavey Plaza say to you, when you can’t control information, a picture of Prince, that’s one for the gun owner, and Dear Mr. President.
The stench from South Bend, what’s going on in the cockpit, Wisconsin judge orders man to stop having kids, the hero of the Oil Patch, and the irresistible desire to jump into a frozen lake.
Picking which laws to enforce, where the women are assaulted, the $28,000 diet, the Saint Paul exodus, and the sports kids of the year who know a thing or two about brotherhood.
When math kids can’t pass the math test, it was four years ago today on the Hudson, I am an African man, welcoming strangers, and second chances.
Long Lost? No problem. The trafficking of our little girls, the man Peter Linnerooth couldn’t help, when things aren’t what they seem, and coming together on climate.
Blame the media flu season begins, who stole Richard Landers, the legend of Flight 90, when the phone call comes, and fun in coffee shops with old men.
What the ‘nosy old ladies’ know about you, who cares about sewers, what snow teaches us about roads, the icons among us, and how an accident connected two people forever.
