This comment only reinforces my point that the writer engages in  
childish name calling. I say again that comparing one's opponent to  
Bush/Cheney belittles the seriousness of what's going on at the  
national level. And it ignores such obvious points as the fact that  
the Minneapolis police, unlike the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth et  
al, is a real organization with real concerns that existed before the  
campaign.

I add to Laura Huseby's list of the Mayor's exaggerated credit-taking  
in the environmental area the Mayor's claim that the city has "met  
the Kyoto Protocol goals for pollution reduction" -- easy enough to  
do when the city excludes transportation emissions because they're  
too difficult to calculate.
