Nice fodder for the mid-term ads, if anyone’s paying attention.

Also, make sure you read Say Nothing before you go. Amazing book. And Yeats' Ghosts. Belfast is fine but if you want the vibes go to Derry. Do some hitchhiking if you can. I think it's still safe there. And the country's so small, it's actually a reasonable way to get around. I'm jealous!

I wouldn’t be feeling too good if I was Iran.

Sebastien Telfair deserves a spot.

Sligo, Derry, Walk the Dingle Peninsula, Dublin (of course), Cliffs of Moher, Achill Island, Aran Islands. That's more than five (and West Coast heavy), but what can you do!

Someone has consumed too many Jolts.

How about crystallize your personal values through self-reflection, practice them in your own life the best you can, and fight for them fiercely in public life. Let the elections fall where they may.

Alex Pretti and Renee Good died to defend a multicultural economic zone.

This is absurd. 1000% bullshit.

Fuck these cowards. They can celebrate at the Quisling Ball. The rest of us will be drinking Grain Belt in the basement and letting all the tears out.

Thank you for telling your story. It may not feel like it, but you are a hero. One of many in our town these days. I am grateful for what you have done to protect our community and our values. Best possible use of a law degree.

Numbers are probably even higher due to non-reporting

Yes- for example, who could argue with this kind of arrangement?

Minnesota Public Radio has been much more on the ball. Take this story, for example:
