These are the mad political rantings of one Matthew McNeil, Liberal/Democratic radio host in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. The postings are mine, the thoughts are mine. Mostly about politics, but I will occasionally get into raising kids, cooking, gardening, the arts and my favorite sports. Bon Appetite!

The Friday Link for 2/20/26
Let's start with the Olympics this week.
There is no better match-up in sports today than the USA vs. Canada in women's hockey. They are clearly the two best teams on the planet, and they do not disappoint.
Yesterday, the USA got the Gold medal. The pass down ice in overtime and the stick work on the overtime goal by Keller were all-time classic hockey moments.
Canada, do not hang your head. Your team is AMAZING, and I could see you easily having won yesterday, too. That's what makes this current rivalry the best in all sports. If these teams played 1000 times, it'd probably be 500-500.
One more from the Olympics, and I like to feature a secondary sport, and why not the Bobsled gold for Elana Meyers Taylor! I never realized what an advantage Germany has in the sledding sports, with the majority of Olympic-level tracks in Germany, so for the US to win this is sweet. And although Meyers Taylor had won silvers and bronzes, this was her first gold!
Next up is a salute to my home state, Minnesota, with Geography by Geoff. He goes through 15 reasons why Minnesota's geography is so cool!
And finally tonight, another protest song, and this might be the best one yet. U2 put out American Obituary, and it does not pull punches. Even U2 doesn't like what the Republicans are doing!
Have a great weekend.
Make sure you stay up to date on all of your vaccinations!
The power of the people is so much greater than the people in power.
