Minnehaha Creek to be Renamed to Schitt Creek

Minnehaha Creek to be Renamed to Schitt Creek UnAssociated Press August 22, 2019 The Department of Renaming Things has decided to rename Minnehaha Creek because the name is offensive to three people from Outer Slobovia. Further research indicates that Minnehaha Creek was discovered by the Schitt family over 12,000 years ago—before the Paleoindians migrated across the Bering Land Bridge . Therefore Minnehaha Creek will be renamed Schitt Creek , in honor of Jedidiah Schitt and all of the other Schitts; sometime next week. In addition, all of the surrounding streets that are currently named after Minnehaha (such as Minnehaha Pkwy), will be named "Schitt" as well. All of the signs below and all of the signs that are located up Schitt Creek will be changed.

Kids vs Political Correctness

Is it a real concern, or is it just my conservative side... because I wonder when the neighbor who is a school psychologist decides he's going to change from being a man into a woman, is he still a good choice to be counseling our children? I just have to wonder if the person who is counseling the children can't figure out their own life, can they really be helpful to people who are starting out?

Mexican Workers

Dear President Trump, You should have seen how hard those Mexican men worked installing our new carpet. A few years ago, another crew of Mexican men worked really hard to install our new roof. Have you ever done that kind of work? It isn't easy and those guys sure aren't lazy. Border security is important, but let's give these guys some credit for being hardworking. Sincerely, CuTRis

America Grieves After Gun Violence

Americans gathered today to mourn the tragic loss of life after two mass shootings over the weekend.

Distorted

Sometimes distorted facts are more destructive than outright lying. There is no Magic Bullet. There is no pill to solve all your ailments. Sometimes if you want clean, you have to get out the vacuum.

Quarry Park

This is an interesting and scenic place. It has a lot of steep cliffs and deep water so keep an eye on the kids. Swimming and trout fishing top the list of activities. On the hot July Friday we visited, it was extremely busy. https://co.stearns.mn.us/Recreation/CountyParks/QuarryParkandNaturePreserve

Health Partners Legalized Theft

Health Partners and Health Partners Clinic is charging me for two clinic visits for a 20 minute preventative (supposed to be covered by insurance) appointment because the doctor talked to me about lowering blood pressure. How can they bill for two visits for a single appointment??? What other business can get away with this? Update: Just 6 hours into my publicizing this all over social media, Health Partners (after first calling to say the charge was legitimate) just called to tell me the charges had been recoded and removed from my account.

Trump's "Go Back to Where You Came From" Mentality

Our country is fixated on race when the problem of discrimination is much deeper than that. It's a great attribute of humanity to be able to discriminate between right and wrong, hot and cold. It's a serious shortcoming to treat those who differ from us poorly. Humans have a long history of doing mean things to others who they perceive as different. The color of one's skin stands out and is an easy focal point for those who are not particularly intelligent. But if that difference doesn't exist, the lines will fall between ethnicity or country of origin. If everyone came from the same place, that small, timid kid is likely to get picked on. Humanity is not so different than it was when the fans cheered their favorite gladiator at the colosseum. But now, there is a backlash in the form of political correctness . This too, is rarely practiced at a moderate level—which tends to push it further from reality. In the case of Donald Trump, there may be a bit of racism i...
