I live in Minneapolis. I’m waiting for my $2000. visa gift card. sarc

I belive that you get that after you loot.

Wrong ~ that was Charles M. Schulz and he died on February 12, 2000.

Nice try. >:-}

Did Hillary have to drive across that bridge to get to the Wellstone funeral?

Careful. Bill O'Reilly will see that and say it was hate speech against Hillary.
His 'direct quote' will run like this...

"One FReeper said "I want Hillary to drive over that bridge to her funeral.""

I’m sure the Democrat talking points linking Bush and probably global warming to this tragedy will be forthcoming.

Can't believe Dingy Harry, Schmucky Schumer, and all the 'Rat presidential candidates (including Her Heinous) haven't been all over the airwaves blaming him.)

They've probably still got their pointy little heads together, deciding on the proper verbage that can be made into a catch phrase, ala "culture of corruption", "miserable failure" - you get the picture.

I didn’t know the hack was still on the air. The dude that wrote this must be his next door neighbor.

[Steamburg]

Oh, that Ed. But, its not nice to talk about the dead that way even when their stories are DOA. /s/

I thought when we got the lottery all our financial woes would be over. Honest Jim Black explained how we would not need to raise taxes and steal funds.

[Loud Mime]

I believe this is Ed Schultz....I think....

Maybe it’s Lutherans he doesn’t like.

More like Germans and Catholics

. . . and we all know that no Germans are Lutheran ;)

Obviously it’s crazy and stupid to be placing blame on anyone - esp. this early - for the bridge collapse.

I live less than 1 from it and it’s strange seeing all the coverage of a local area.

Anyway what does have a lot of people upset here (including on local conservative talk radio) was this statement from the White House:

“This doesn’t mean there was a risk of failure, but if an inspection report identifies deficiencies, the state is responsible for taking corrective actions,” he said. The bridge was 40 years old.”

35W is a FEDERAL Interstate, moreover the construction crews that were working on it when it collapsed were federal contractors from GA, NOT MN.

Just was a really ignorant thing to say that I’m sure they will have to claify and backtrack on.

[an amused spectator]

you say Global Warming in jest but several anchors have mentioned the fact that it is such a warm summer there....

I wouldn't just dismiss it out of hand.

It's been getting really warm in the summer ever since I can remember...
