Press release of the day II: Mayor Rybak seeks intimate adventures with open M/F couple
Filed under: Correspondence
No, today's most startling press release concerns "Sex and So Much More," a November 17 expo--did we say "expo"? we meant "sexpo"--at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The show, which is being promoted out of the modern-day Babylon of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, promises "lingerie, toys, games, clothing, candy, travel and leisure, self improvement, fitness, cosmetics and so much more." (Specifically, "so much more" seems to mean an indoor "beer garden.")
The press release of the day, however, comes not from Canada's barren plains, but from the fertile imagination of Tom Prichard, president of the Minnesota Family Council. In his all-points-bulletin, the Grand Inquisitor of Minneapolis manages the not- insubstantial feat of raising the bogeymen of the Vikings love boat tour three separate times in four sentences. (Is he trying to drum up a special Turkey-Day cruise for the easily outraged Al and Alma?)
Without having met Tom Prichard, whose nickname is not "Peeping Tom," we have a hunch he's the kind of family guy who supports corporal punishment--as long as it's not between consenting adults. Here, without any more foreplay, is Prichard's release:
City of Minneapolis Criticized for Hosting "Sex and So Much More" Show at Minneapolis Convention Center
The city of Minneapolis had better insure the event doesn't become an on- land version of the Vikings' boat party orgy, says Group
MINNEAPOLIS--The Minnesota Family Council criticized the city of Minneapolis for hosting the November 17-20 "Sex and So Much More" Show and called upon the city to closely monitor the event to insure it's not an expanded version of the Viking's boat party orgy.

From an e-mail with the subject head: "Don't Be a Loser With Your Powerball Winnings":
Dear G.R.,
It's official. One lucky person holds the only winning ticket for the $340 million Powerball jackpot. Once the identity is known, the first question will certainly be what are you going to do with all that cash?
Jerry Webb, CFP, Chairman of Minnesota-based Webb Financial Group says that those who come into money should be careful of their first steps. "There is an inherent excitement that comes with the receipt of unexpected money and many make foolish mistakes."
Webb explains, "Take your sweet time. Sit down with professionals including a good financial advisor, lawyer and accountant to determine goals and create a sensible plan. In the meantime, place the windfall in a money market account where it will be safe until an action plan is in place."
Most of all, Webb advises against rash decisions such as immediately quitting one's job. "Remember, there's no rush. You'd much rather take your time in the beginning then turn around in a year or two and have loss a large of amount of money," asserts Webb.
Speak with Jerry Webb to discuss what individual's [SIC] should do with a large financial windfall. For an interview contact Bradd DelMuto at 610-642-8253 or email Bradd@GregoryFCA.com.
Thank you for your consideration.
