George Gregory had never seen south Minneapolis until Tuesday. He hopes he won't ever need to see it again.

"I've never been here before, and I'll never come again, either," said the 88-year-old retired Postal Service supervisor from Little Canada, a suburb on the other side of St. Paul.

Ha! I used to deliver the Duluth News-Tribune instead. Of course the DNT was also left-of-center back then, but nowhere near as bad as Le-Trashe-Du-Nord...

I don't believe any of this crap! Just more of piting one group of Americans against another.

People are just too spoiled these days. "The government has to take care of us," they whine.

The fact is, people get sick. You get the flu, you deal with it. Everyone gets a cold or the flu, especially in winter. Go to bed for a few days and you'll live. Stop panicking.

This is the most ridiculous thing that's happened recently. Let's all panic about lack of flu shots. Geesh, 10 yrs. ago no one got a flu shot and the world didn't come to an end. Since the msm is making such a big deal of it, now it's a big deal !!

Reminds me of right before 9/11 how everyone was afraid of the sharks........day after day coverage of shark attacks. I think that there are more important things to worry about, like terrorists etc.

"It was time to leave the PROFESSIONAL BUILDING. I wished everyone good health and walked out onto Hennepin Avenue. When I looked down the street and squinted, I could almost see Lakewood Cemetery, four blocks away. The gates were open "

Yeah, right! Obviously he's hoping they die...
