Putting the Raz in Crazy

My editor received a peculiar email today.

Scratch that. It wasn’t peculiar. It was downright bizarre. It reminded me of how Nietzsche wrote, only the writer of this email may have been kicked in the head by a horse more than once. (The horse-kicking may be an apocryphal Nietzsche story, but the guy really did completely flip his lid and command the emperor to get shot.)

Here’s a sample:

FYI: Your Life / Your Future and more deadly " illegal " Immigration, facts!!! And note within the video linked below that it’s " BS " = all the hype / myths that all i.e. Hispanics favor " the illegal / deadly to any Society law breakers aka deadly predators!!! " And equally deadly to any Society are the Liberals-Socialists-Dopers-Anti American-Anti Societal http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sovereignty types aka DNC & GOP based: " MASTER DEMS " < i.e. Michael >; that are DEADLY self serving, with spewing the Cult Master’s propaganda = more " world deadly " garbage!!!

The immigrant / now proud AMERICAN citizen, linked below speaks for a high % of the Hispanic immigrants aka now proud to be AMERICANS!!! That do not want " Our Society / America " —> deadly trashed, thus turned into what they and our ancestors: left behind, in order to achieve " THE AMERICAN DREAM!!! " Well… AMERICA used to be a better / more safer / more freedoms / more prosperous place to work out a better: " Life!!!

I figure anything I write after this is going to look pretty good. Don’t you think?

Cult Master? Dopers?

Worthington in the News

Lately, southwest Minnesota has cropped up a lot in a variety of online locales. Here are a few instances:

  • An article from the Pioneer Press featuring Gary Crippen, a retired appellate judge, who happens to be the brother of former Daily Globe editor and current columnist Ray Crippen. Said Ray: "Gary was born and reared at Worthington, was a partner in the Mork law firm and then was appointed to the Court of Appeals. He lives in St. Paul."
  • Here’s a blog allegedly written by Worthington native Tim O’Brien, a pretty famous author. I can’t say for certain it’s really O’Brien writing it.
  • Staff Sgt. Devon Bruns and his daughter Madison were snapped by the Mankato Free Press before he shipped out to Iraq. Cute photo!
  • And of course, everything written about Matt Entenza mentions that he’s from Worthington.
  • A Strib columnist wrote about Daily Globe columnist Scott Rall recently. It’s about pheasants, conservation and hunting.
  • Former Worthington resident Dave Grimmius was featured in an article by the St. Peter Herald, about the mixed emotions of Packers/Favre fans regarding the Vikings controversy.
  • Here’s a story from the Jackson County Pilot about housing in southwest Minnesota, with a focus on Jackson.
  • The Minnesota Independent mentioned the Elizabeth House in Worthington.
  • The Minnesota Immigrant Freedom Network posted a piece about its executive director, Mariano Espinoza, who is an elected member of the board of the Worthington Area Language Academy.
  • MPR had a really great article about the Karen people (from Burma), and mentioned that quite a few of them have come to work in Worthington.

Finally, I definitely recommend you check out the Flickr stream of Debora Drower, who has photographed buildings throughout southwest Minnesota, showing architectural detail, old, fascinating signs and a little bit of urban-rural decay. It’ll make you give your community a second look.
