L to R: 2007, 2008, 2009

The Republican National Convention. Michele Bachmann at Living Word church. The Flying Imams. Larry Craig in the airport bathroom. Norm Coleman’s donor database breach. The “missing” Somali youth. Candidate Palin and President Obama. The Franken/Coleman recount.

Since our launch as the Minnesota Monitor in late summer 2006, the Minnesota Independent has published nearly 8,000 stories on an array of topics, winning a bunch of awards and having a hell of a lot of fun along the way.

Join us for a special birthday happy hour at the Red Stag Supper Club on Thursday, Sept. 10 from 6 to 8 pm, and give us a hand (ahem) in celebrating our third birthday!
