If you’re interested in what’s going on in Minnesota, just a look at the top stories right now shows a lot of stuff the regular news media aren’t even mentioning.
…in the Minnesota.
I’m confused – now we’re to refer to your state using the definite article, a la The Ukraine or The Congo?
Thanks for posting this link, PZ.
This is my first comment on your blog, which I have been reading for a couple of months. I’m also a fellow Minnesotan.
It’s interesting to see a different perspective on what is going on in Minnesota. I’m glad there are folks out there willing to put time and effort into keeping the public informed about these sorts of issues.
I’m just glad to see I only made one typo in the about section.
;-)
Thanks for the shout out.
TheBrummell: Don’t know about (the) Congo, but I have heard repeatedly that it should be just “Ukraine”, simply because one doesn’t say “the Canada” or “the France”. This is of course different in different languages; my astrophysics and astronomy instructor from years ago was always talking about “the Jupiter”, which I assume is correct in her native language. Last I checked one doesn’t do this in English for US states.
