Occupy Wall Street acting stupidly videos (Minnesota, pirates, show tunes, dress-up...) - 01/21/12
... later):
* The "Occupirates" from Minneapolis, Minnesota protest in front of US Bank. The Teapartiers have a similar affliction where their response to problems involves playing dress-up games like children, something they probably got from Ron Paul fans. That strange issue the Tea Partiers share with OWS has even drawn criticism from Glenn Beck who suggested the Teapartiers back off on the...
Get Equal, Rachel Lang unclear on fundamental American concepts (Bachmann, Kochs, glitter, Robert Erickson, Minneapolis) - 06/19/11
... the RightOnline conference in Minneapolis. Another video (from Erickson, see #2 below) is at peekURL.com/v8U7dHP and their press release is at [1].
Some points:
1. A fundamental American concept is that of speech: if someone says something you disagree with, you respond with speech of your own. You don't throw glitter over them. Throwing glitter isn't an argument, it's not civil, and it only...
Far-left Robert Erickson dumps glitter on Newt Gingrich; teaparty, ALIPAC partly to blame (Nick Espinosa) - 05/18/11
... Press story here; event location: Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This is obviously despicable behavior that's just one small step up from what the far-left usually engages in: pie throwing, pulling fire alarms, and the like. Whether openly trying to silence those they oppose or just dumping glitter on them, the far-left is incapable of debating their opponents.

Toothless Obama admin immigration enforcement: 100s janitors fired, not deported (+how many SEIU members are illegal aliens?) - 11/09/09
In Minneapolis, Minnesota earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security sent no match letters or a variant to around 1200 janitors employed by the major corporation ABM informing those employees that there was a mismatch between their Social Security numbers and other information. They were required to provide documentation by October, and when all or almost all didn't, ABM fired them;...

That said, the top five are: Minneapolis, MN; Seattle, WA; Washington DC; St Paul, MN; and San Francisco, CA.
Meanwhile, down at #26 comes New York City, being beaten out by, among others, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Raleigh, Columbus, Lexington-Fayette (Kentucky), Nashville-Davidson (Tennessee), Tulsa, and Oakland.
Scrolling frantically down the page, we find Los Angeles at #56...
Is the New York Times a Mexican newspaper? - 09/30/05
I'm left with the distinct impression that the New York Times is a Mexican newspaper after reading "Way North of the Border" by Eduardo Porter and Elisabeth Malkin.
Here's the paragraph on which they construct the rest of their story:
The location of Mexico's latest American consulate [in St. Paul] provides a stark illustration of how economically improving groups of Mexican immigrants are...
Minneapolisians celebrate diversity, global connectedness, sweetness, light - 06/04/05
... (Megan O'Hara) of the mayor of Minneapolis (R.T. Rybak) offers us a wonderful, heartwarming, life-affirming lesson that's not just about that city's Minneapolis MOSAIC Arts Festival, it's about how absolutely wonderful immigration is. If you haven't yet had your daily cup of treacle, dip into "Our urban culture reflects heritage of immigrants" (link):
