Stanek ever less popular

Stanek's self-promotional video just keeps making people unhappy. The Star Tribune is reporting that private e-mails it obtained from City Hall contain numerous criticisms of Stanek and the video by Minneapolis Chief of Police Tim Dolan and Mayor R.T. Rybak. They challenged Stanek's accuracy in recounting what happened during the recovery phase.

Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek

Minnesotans continue to suffer Rich Stanek. Why can't this big jerk just disappear, once and for all? Never have the least deserving risen so far in Hennepin County, it seems. Stanek no doubt believes he deserves it all, having an ego bigger than the state of Montana. Why, just look at his recent self-promotional video.

FOX 9 News "has discovered that the $30,000 production was produced by the same folks who helped run his campaign, and according to a memo leaked by a local blog... some of the claims in the video are just not true." Watch the video yourself and see how Stanek used $30,000 in taxpayer funds to pay for his new self-promotional video.

The TC Daily Planet reports: "The total cost of the video was $30,000, but the job was split at $15,000 between two companies -- $15,000 is the threshold for bidding on county projects." Gosh, what a coincidence.

Ron Paul, 2008

Now here's a Republican I can get behind, running for president. He doesn't pull any punches about the state of our society today. It's like a breath of fresh air.

Now if only we could get a breath of fresh air here in Minnesota, especially in the governor's office. Do we have to wait until another bridge collapses?

I urge all my readers (yes, all 6 of you) to support Ron Paul's presidential campaign. I am.
