American Idle

The MinnPost bistro mugs have arrived! Jealous? (In other news, I’m apparently becoming Wilford Brimley.)

Compiling (and, in some cases, scanning) images in an effort to redesign my online resume/portfolio. Above: The first issue of The Rake (I art directed for a year and a half or so) in which I transformed Carl Pohlad into King Tut.

And here’s the Fox News card. Notice Fox ahead of the ABC, NBC and CBS sleighs; MSNBC and CNN aren’t even racing. 

Wait. Why are they using sheep-drawn sleighs?

You can’t deny the dedication FOX’s sheep have for their network.

Print headlines - hilarious! (Hat tip: Practical Obscurity)

It was a busy week at MinnPost HQ. Apparently we needed some extra fuel.

It was almost enough.

Bullying gay and lesbian kids: How a school district became a suicide contagion area

Justin Aaberg (pictured above) hanged himself in his room in 2010 following incidents of bullying. 

At least six other Anoka-Hennepin School District students have committed suicide, and friends and parents of bullied victims say adults at the schools knew about harassment but did nothing. Read Beth Hawkins’ investigation.

A very powerful story by one of the best journalists in the Twin Cities.

This if for Jason DeRusha (re: Brian Williams)

“[Obama]’s been willing to engage during his presidency in a massive redistribution of wealth and in the politics of an Occupy Wall Street envy to achieve his purposes. Contrast that with the Tenth Amendment — I’m sorry — the Tenth Commandment, which teaches that we should not covet what belongs to our neighbor. That’s a principle for good government that’s worked historically in the United States.” — Rep. Michele Bachmann
