With nearly every step he took Wednesday morning in downtown Philadelphia, Sen. Al Franken inspired a mild frenzy. Democratic delegates from around the country continually approached him for handshakes or selfies, or simply shouted in his direction. It sounds like this: Al! It’s Al Franken! Hi, Al! Give ’em hell, Al! Can I get a picture, Al? Al! Great speech, Al! Al! AAAAAAAL! His fellow Minnesotan, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, tells a story: One time she got on a plane with Franken, and the excited flight attendant announced to the passengers they had...
A personal injury attorney was suspended Wednesday from practicing law in Minnesota for at least five years for stabbing a man in the rib cage in the lobby of a posh hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Michael J.

Search any variation of #serious, #modelface or #contour, among other captions, and these stoic Instagram sel...

They understand that antibiotics would be a false “solution” to the problem, and instead help provide other supportive care appropr...
