The Read Menace

If I were king of the fore-e-e-est

I hope you all noticed the bold initiative of the Star Tribune, as expressed on their editorial page on Sunday. Yup, they put their heads together, snorted and wheezed with the Herculean effort, pressed hard on their temples to concentrate the intellect, and made their endorsement regarding tomorrow's "Super Tuesday" nationwide primaries and caucuses.

And you thought they were too timid to actually make an endorsement without doing a focus group first of what they could get away with without offending their ever shrinking base of readers and advertisers.

Well, the joke's on you. The Strib editorial board ain't afraid of nobody or no thing. Not nobody. Not nohow.

And just to prove that, they threw caution to the wind, damned the torpedoes, hurled themselves once more into the breach and endorsed...voting.

As they put it, "Super Tuesday, Too important to miss." If that weren't endorsement enough, they even said,"It could be a transformative moment in American politics."

That's some bold talkin' there.

So whatever you do, don't miss Super Tuesday. It's too important AND it could be transformative.

And speaking of "Super", how 'bout them Giants? They made the top of the Strib's front page today, right above the coverage of the candidates.
