#1 yeah , when the US marshals are coming after you, then you're probably a real good guy. To bad for them on missing out on the Greek food though.

#2 Given the current state of Minneapolis, perhaps moving the festival to Mogadishu is an option.

Uptown has been the site of regular protests and unrest since the shooting of Winston Smith

Wasn't Winston Smith that guy in "1984"? I can see why the Feds whacked him. He was a troublemaker.

#3 3 murders in Mpls in 24 hrs over the weekend. So much for "Minnesota Nice." It's spreading to the boonies, too; had a murder in a small town nearby.

#6 Ironical. Perhaps his final thoughts.

"He gazed up at the enormous face. Thirty-two(sic) years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

#7 We are kindred all of us, killer and victim, predator and prey, me and the sly coyote, the soaring buzzard, the elegant gopher snake, and trembling cottontail, the foul worms that feed on our entrails; all of them, all of us. Long live diversity, long live the earth!
