There are probably n+1 explanations for the chalkboard clichΓ©... But maybe it's not a clichΓ©? Here's an interesting / fun 5 minute video that offers a theory.

Daily, sometime multiple times daily, they engage in activities that make Nixon's Watergate look like minor clerical error and yet... no consequences. They just get up the next day and do it again.

Love this part of the article. After being stuck for 5 hours...

Lutsen also supplied evacuees with pizza and hot chocolate. After a quick snack, Schultz and his friends headed back onto the slopes for a "few more runs before calling it a day."

That's about as Bold North as it gets.

Ya gotta flip that switch every 24 days. Can't make it permanent. It's clear when the setting times out because the garbage floods back into your feed

I’ve been a subscriber forever, but the print (and eEdition) increasingly gives me day(s) old news. It’s feeling very irrelevant. Which is a bummer.

Clicking headlines online just isn’t as satisfying as a reading a professionally, thoughtfully laid-out newspaper.

Again with your ridiculous maps? Land does not vote. People vote. Here's a map that better represents the actual 1988 presidential vote.

Well Congressman, if Congress can’t or won’t check the Executive Branch, it’s time for the courts to step up. Ask the Judicial Branch to rule on this and EVERY questionable or illegal White House action. #ChecksAndBalances #RuleOfLaw

Your map (again) misrepresents reality. People vote, land does not. Here's a map that represents people, not acreage.
