@Patrick_Reusse He's with Jerry, Bob and Phil now. He made me laugh and hooked me up with bootlegs. RIP

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

This episode of MN History is the last. The Star Tribune pulled the plug after 10 great years and nearly 500 columns. Thanks for embracing history with me. https://t.co/XQBrlW1fLS

Sad news...MN History is history. After a decade and nearly 500 MN History columns, Star Tribune editors have decided not to renew my contract. Thanks to everyone for suggesting ideas, sharing sweet feedback and reading the tales. I’ve loved writing every word.
