After his health forum in Anoka County, John Kerry wheeled into Minnesota's biggest attraction this afternoon:

1. That is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I was hoping to see

something regarding his visit there. He was well receieved!

4. But we do vote...

and we are the number one rated state in the ACT's. So I guess we can take a little heat for the dialect.

5. Oh, I'm not bagging on the dialect...

I love it. I think it's probably in my top two American dialects - seriously!

6. We are a living caricature! You betcha

7. I swear to God

we do not all speak that way.

8. You're right, the Iron Range has a little bit of Canadian tossed in :)

9. Channel 5 ran Laurie Coleman's "sexy pictures" before the story

about the visit from Kerry. They are so weak at channel 5. They wonder why their ratings are in the toilet. I won't turn them on again.

10. What a scoop...

Were they gushing, was it neutral, or astonished?

11. Positive tone. Light hearted. Quoted Coleman who was proud of course.

Sickening. I wonder if Cindy Brucato is influencing the stories. Doesn't matter because I really will not watch one again. They led with a convenience store robbery...no one killed or injured..construction going through a Native American burial site (bad but could wait) then Coleman's wife then finally Kerry's visit. Their priorities are screwed up. I'm surprised they didn't highlight the Twins loss 1st.

12. Well remember, Cindy B. worked for Arnie Carlson (R)...

so I guess that she might still be in that mode. Besides her boss is a Bush* contributor.

13. Yup..I won't listen to anything that Hubbard owns. Bought Sirius

satellite or listen to 1530. Stations seem to be all Clear Channel or Hubbard.

[mediaman007]

14. Hubbard brings us our daily dose of "Rush"

that kind of ended my association with 1500, KS95 and Channel 5.
