A Daily Dose of Minnesota Nice... LIVE!

One of my favorite things about Minnesota is local television. One of the best is a show called "Twin Cities Live". This is basically an infomercial parading as a talk show, in which all the interesting guests are the sponsors plugging their wares.

The hosts currently consist of Steve Patterson and Elizabeth Ries who seem to think this is the best thing since Oprah. They profile such 'hot topics' as: where to find the best greasy burger or they critique women's fashion, in which you can almost see Patterson's penis disappear.

Liz panders to everything, no matter how insignificant; usually referring to it as "so fun".

I can only feel embarrassment for all of us when someone from Chicago, New York or Los Angeles is visiting here and has the misfortune of turning this on and get the 'small town' feel we really need go lose in order to become a major metropolitan player.

In the end, all "Twin Cities Live" needs is a farm report.
