CuTRis Briefly Announced as Miss Universe Winner UnAssociated Press December 21, 2015 During an unfortunate blunder at the Miss Universe pageant yesterday, CuTRis was mistakenly announced as the winner . Although he was not present and was not even watching, the mistake has apparently affected CuTRis deeply. "I can't believe I almost won!" said CuTRis between sobs. After the real winner was announced, CuTRis consoled himself by drinking a beer and was "good as new" ten minutes later.

Early into my son's birthday party (at a fun venue) yesterday, one of his young cousins had a "meltdown" and screamed and cried and carried on until his mom took him home. He missed the party, the playtime, the pizza, the cake and all the fun! One might excuse a child from this but what about Black Lives Matter Minnesota ? They have a list of demands that if not met (and they will not be met and everyone knows it), will result in a protest at the Mall of America two days before Christmas. Never mind that this same group pulled the same stunt last year which created a hardship for shoppers and businesses and that the Mall of America has repeatedly stated that it is private property and that such demonstrations are not allowed. Last year a number of arrests were made and the charges were later dropped—which apparently the very immature leadership of this very immature group thinks will happen again. Sorry Black Lives Matter, but when you protested (at least twice now) in t...

In a recent report that states that African-American and American Indian LRT Riders are more likely to be arrested for not paying as opposed to Caucasian riders more likely only being "warned," an important piece of data has been left out of the equation. That being what is the racial breakdown of the people who are not paying their fares? I only ask, because statistics are really only valid when all parts are shown. Leaving out key data can skew the results. That said, this is an easy fix. From now on, no one who is caught by Metro Transit police should be given "warnings." From this moment forward, every single person, regardless of race or other demographic identity, should be arrested and prosecuted. No more warnings. There now! It's all fixed!

Now that Vladimir Putin has endorsed Donald Trump , and since Trump has said that he would "get along well" with Putin, there should be no more doubt as to whether Trump would be a good President. I mean if a swell guy like Putin likes him, then he must be good huh? Maybe Putin can pick our other political leaders too. Pretty soon, we'll be as good as the Russian Federation! Because after all, don't we want to be just like Russia???

CuTRis Wins GOP Debate UnAssociated Press December 16, 2015 Even though he wasn't actually there, CuTRis is said by many that he won last night's GOP debate in Las Vegas. Apparently CuTRis called Jeb Bush's cell phone during the debate (Jeb had forgotten to turn it off), and CuTRis could be heard telling Jeb that Trump was fired! The move apparently endeared CuTRis to enough liberal analysts, that he was declared the winner of last night's debate.

Puddles? Ice? Global Warming? I'm not sure!

We took our son to Union Depot on Saturday. We saw the "North Pole Express;" which was sold-out. So we took a ride on the Green Line instead.

My boss who is on vacation, decided to answer her two month old emails at 3:00 AM this morning. My coworker and I are not sure if we should reply or not since this stuff was all completed so long ago—and replying to a two month old email might just inspire four month old responses sometime after the holidays...

A reoccurring theme in the news recently, involves violence in schools . The Ramsey County Attorney is involved as well as St. Paul Schools. In many ways, I feel like this is taking way too long to address—as I lived through these issues more than a decade ago. The issues I am referring to are about violence, bad behavior, racial accusations and the political backlash that prevents resolution to the core problems.    While working in county social services in Minneapolis, racial discrimination lawsuits were common and often the biggest trouble-makers used the political backlash to their advantage. Later, while working in the detention room of a south suburban school district and also in the ALC, I saw that indeed there was a disparity in discipline; because school administrators were terrified of racial discrimination allegations. I had access to all discipline data and noticed that a particular offence (i.e. telling a teacher to "F-off”) was handled based on the race of the...

The interesting thing about Donald Trump , is that when he says the most ridiculous and even dangerous things, his popularity goes up. The rhetoric is not new, however. Likely you could go to any busy blue collar bar on a Friday or Saturday night and find at least one really drunken loudmouth who is saying something very similar. I guess I just expect a little more out of someone who might become President. Maybe that's just my issue.

http://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-police-clear-out-4th-precinct-protesters/360417651/ It's just my opinion of course, but I'm pretty sure if I had started a fire in the street in front of my house and sat out there next to it that the police would have put an end to it in less than 3 weeks.

Yesterday there was yet another mass shooting in the USA . Apparently this is 355th mass shooting in the U.S. so far this year and the year ain't over yet. What is the answer to stopping it? Ask the NRA , the GOP , the crazy guy who waved a gun at me back in May; and any of them will tell you the answer is more guns! Everyone must be armed if we want to be safe! We should be asking what type of firearm is appropriate for my second grader to carry to school in case his school is attacked by a mass murderer. Or, could it be that adding more guns to the already gun saturated USA is like combating the smog problem by burning some more plastic—to cover up the stink? So is everyone really still okay with all of this?
