Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.

Yowza. I got smoked. Only 6 of 15.

Must’ve been busy at work this week.

Skipped the hints this week and got 10 out of 15, scoring with a couple admitted lucky guesses.

7 right. I don’t believe in hints (unless there’s money on the line).

I scored 7, using only a couple hints. I consider myself pretty uninformed so I’m cool with it–ha.
