Hard to believe anyone on this street is still alive. I'm imagining a towering wall of fire, screams of agony, and fire fighters standing around shrugging at each other, saying, "who let them build this street so skinny?"

The difference between Kaohly Her photoshopping the St Paul police chief as a bodybuilder and me creating a "pec bounce tutorial" using news footage of the Minneapolis police chief is that I was not Brian O'Hara's boss at the time I published that video.

A mayor getting sued by the police chief for sexual harassment and a council member who specializes in getting sued by a series of former staff members. The latest from the all woman St Paul City Hall is sadly a boon to men's rights activists.

To the complainers, the babies, and the whiners: The mayor is already holding MPD fully accountable on spending. Please stop mentioning that he recently barred the chief from appearing at a council meeting to take questions on police spending. That's not relevant.
