WoW! I guess I touched a nerve. The SWJ and Mr. Brauer are pretty

I want to make a comment about the feminist caucus endorsement in
Minneapolis. From talking to the organizers of the Stonewall Caucus I was
informed that they inserted Feminist caucus questions in their screening and
they never informed the candidates that they were screening for two

The DFL Feminist Caucus will be screening Mayoral Candidates separately.
That would be why you were not told about it, because it did not happen.

Does anyone know why the forms for non-emergency car accident reports are
not online? Or at least information on what to do when you need to report
an accident after the fact (a friends fender bender that didn't warrant
911)?
Perhaps they are just buried somewhere?

Why, in an effort to be sqeaky clean, do people like Russell have to bend
over backwards to try to show people that everything is "fair", "honest",
and without any undo self interest. That is wrong and unfair to people
who strive for open and honest communication. Down with political
correctness
