AM.MN: Like Oprah, Pawlenty will quit his show in 2011
The year 2011 will be the end of an era in broadcasting. That’s when Oprah will leave her long-running show — and, by coincidence, when Gov. Tim Pawlenty will leave his, Minnesota Public Radio confirms. Today, his “hot” wife Mary sits in for T-Paw on ‘CCO, but you won’t see Her Hotness unless the First [...]
It-boy Pawlenty debuts before Iowa GOP to strains of ‘It ain’t me’
Taking his opening shot in the state that hosts the nation’s earliest presidential caucus, Gov. Tim Pawlenty could hardly miss by appealing to “Heartland values” that Minnesota shares with neighboring Iowa.

You be da man” and “You be da man (Remix).” To cleanse the palette, here’s one last set of comments by a Minnesotan from last weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC): Gov. Tim Pawlenty on his wife, Norm Coleman and [...]
Minnesota’s Capitol not an active front in ‘War on Christmas’
Washington state’s capitol has been beset with proliferating religious displays this holiday season — some of which are being taken as shots across the bow in the annual “War on Christmas” promoted on Fox News. “Fox and Friends” co-host and former Miss America Gretchen Carlson has been especially exercised about it, citing her Minnesota roots [...]
