Minnesota's zombie problem
Minnesota faces a coming crisis. If there were to be a zombie apocalypse, Minnesota is completely unprepared. While zombies don't actually exist ... at least as of now ... we can all agree on one thing -- if they were to appear, we're in trouble.

Minnesota Majority sez: stop the brown-skinned people from voting
We know that Republicans like to darken the faces of any Democratic candidates that are minorities like Erik Paulsen did to Ashwin Madia.

"Put Kids First" issues contract on Minneapolis teachers
