Mediation: Post-It Note project
Overheard in Mpls: A Duluth coincidence
Melinda Jacobs: I get wet and wild
DeRusha: I'm doing a Good Question
That Jacobs woman ends some of her sentences with up to half a dozen exclamation points.
"Sickening? Yes. But that's me!!!!!!"
intentional or not, that was a brilliantly funny comment. thank you, bkst.
WTF is that Melinda Jacobs pile of steaming shit doing on The Rake?
"I'm so wild because I wear all of my jewlery while swimming!!!!!!" Gag.
Damn! I totally thought it would be a picture of Belinda Jensen again!
Damn that moronic socialite!
The Rake
Yesterday's crappy local socialites...reheated for for today!
why the fuck don't you have a blog on The Rake ALIECAT? Oh I know because you are to busy getting worked up over Jacobs.
Grab a paper bag when you have a free second because the rest of
us don't want your toxic germs.
Thanks for posting the link about Good Question. I'm doing them all next week, M-F, and I'm really hoping to get some viewer questions via video (we've never had one before). So you can just look into your webcam or camcorder, and upload the question to YouTube (and e-mail me the link); or you can attach a video file to this online Good Question form.
We're going to rotate different people through Good Question all month. Not sure if that's a permanent solution, or if viewer response to one of the people will be so profound, they'll have no choice but to give the segment and a tremendous raise to that person.
Melinda Jacobs is what you get in a post Diablo Cody world.
Expect more.
Thanks, Diablo!
Obviously freeforall has a Rake over on the Blog.
Or vicey versey...
So sorry, freeforall, didn't know that public figures weren't up for criticism. Forgive me.
/or blow me, either way...
Jason: I was in another city a while back (Des Moines? Omaha?) and I see they had a "Good Question" segment too. And it seemed like the question was one I'd heard before on your station. Do you sometimes used canned questions from sister stations?
"My whole life I have dreamed of swimming with Dolphins"
How did dolphins end up a proper noun?
This is a poorly edited piece. This is the last one I'm reading by her.

us don't want your toxic germs.
I personally love aliecat's toxic germs.
she meant the Miami Dolphins, rat.
Jason, will your Good Question segments be posted on your blog or somewhere? I never watch the news (no offense, I hope) but would like to see your GQ segments.
badquestion: We don't, but sometimes other stations do our bit. After we started Good Question, many stations around the country tried doing the same thing, with the same name. Some have had success with it, others don't really get the concept. It's possible that former reporter Ben Tracy's stories were put on a feed, and re-aired (perhaps with a local reporter's voice over his).
Heck, even in the market, another station started something called "I've Been Wondering."
Since Ben left in mid-December, we've been re-airing some of his old pieces. That stopped two days ago. Jeanette Trompeter did GQ this week.
I think of them as more like rasberry syphilis. Rotting from the inside out...
freeforall should die in a fire.
Happy Friday!!
No offense take, Jane. Every Good Question will go to this section of the website. But I'll also turn my blog into a forum for GQ that week, so you'll find the stories in the video viewer of my blog.
which makes me come to the conclusion
that happy chicks make unhappy chicks more miserable. sad very sad.
You're probably the same kind of guy who will say something about us fighting it out in jello... moron.
It has nothing to do with her being happy and me being sad. When you write something for public consumption it should at least be relevant and edited properly.
For the record, I am disgustingly happy with my life.
For the record, I don't hate her (hell, I don't even know why she's so locally famous), just this blog. This blog should die in a fire.
Bored rich people are so 2007.
Yawn.
OK, I try not to get too bent out of shape about typos/errors, but if you can't spell the word "too," freeforall and bkst, it's about time to pack it in. If the tailpipe doesn't fit in your mouth, reduce it with a garden hose or something...just get it done already!
Sorry, just getting my "toxic germs" out of the way early today! Isn't it 'open thread' time yet?
Hey Jason I have a good question why does Melinda Jacobs get
people so fired up? You would think this woman was selling drugs to
poverty stricken children.
Hey, Melinda is funny, on at least two levels. Alie, do you take everything at face value or do you ever try to figure out what's really going on?
Are you saying this is all a joke on the Rake's part? Because I'm not sure their that clever...heh.
Is Melinda Jacobs buying lunch for handful of posters here today or something?
"My whole life I have dreamed of swimming with Dolphins"
How did dolphins end up a proper noun?
because what she envisioned was being doubleteamed by Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas in the pool @ the Clevelander on South Beach.
I've been to the Clevelander many times. Great bar.

no...here you have her confused with her father.
I'll just go directly to your blag--thanks!
Blog.
Heh.
Beats me, Ivory. There are tons of blogs that I have no interest in, and I don't read them. It's crazy, I know.
I think Melinda's having fun writing, so I don't see what the issue is.
I have removed comments from the Melinda Jacobs stalker.
I can't think of a better example for the need for a 100% Estate Tax than MJ.
blag -- Freudian!
The comments at the Rake are hilarious. I mean, ridiculous. WTF?
The Rat sez "This is a poorly edited piece."
No joke! Take a look at this sentence.
"My whole life I have dreamed of swimming with Dolphins, so my husband found a place in Mexico called Wet and Wild, where, after being given THOROUGH instructions with the Dolphin trainers, you can actually jump in the pool and swim with the Dolphins."
Ouch. It's kind of sad to have all that money and only get a sixth grade education.
Did someone say jello fight?
I'm hoping Ms. Jacobs has a thick enough skin that she can take some heat, Mr. Harvard.
If you venture to put your material out there for scrutiny, you shouldn't expect everyone to throw roses.
Wonder if he really went to Harvard?
We'll never know....
Mr. Harvard was the Melinda Jacobs stalker. His post has been deleted. I don't know why he continues to post, as I delete him every time. I assume he is simply mentally ill.
looks like our Melinda stalker has quite a distinctive writ(h)ing style...and a Static IP.
I should say "comment," rather than "post." Conflating the two irritates Rex.

what doesn't?
He still seemed to still be carrying a torch for Melinda.
