Romantic North Dakota: A Valentine’s Day Guide

February 14th, 2012

nd-lover-not-a-fighter-sioux.jpgWhen one thinks “romance,” North Dakota is maybe not the first state that comes to mind.

But you can find romance at all levels of North Dakota society. From high school sweethearts to the courtship between an oil company and a mineral rights owner, beginning with flirtatious expectant caution, moving to one driving its tools deep inside the other and ending with an explosion and a pumping of liquids.

One reason North Dakota and romance are not often included in the same sentence is that people are just not aware of all the romance the state has to offer. When it comes to love, it’s not North Dakota, it’s Yesth Dakota!

All-Minneapolis Muslim: Were Lowe’s and Kayak Right to Pull Ads?

December 31st, 2011

Recently, at the urging of American Christians in Florida, Kayak.com and Lowe’s pulled sponsorship of the show “All-American Muslim.” The Florida Family Association insisted the cable reality show, which follows a number of Muslim Americans though their daily lives, was “attempting to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad.”

As a sometime resident of Minneapolis, I find myself on a daily basis in close proximity to many American Muslims. Most Americans may not know this, but the largest city in Minnesota boasts the highest population of Somalis in North America. Almost all of them are Muslim. Dangerous Muslims. Just last month, a Minnesota woman was found guilty of sending money to Somali terror group al-Shabab. The group has even successfully recruited young men from the local community to travel back to Africa.

Photos Surface of Anti-Obamacare Senator McCain Benefitting from Socialized Health Care

June 21st, 2011

john-mccain.jpgJohn McCain has said he is dedicated to repealing and replacing “Obamacare.” During the 2008 campaign, McCain also accused Obama of being a socialist.

Well, obviously Senator McCain is a hypocrite. In the above undated photo, the senator can clearly be seen benefiting from socialized health care. We look forward to the senator’s retraction and apology.

(This is actually how political commentary works now. Everyone ready for 2012?)
