Nothing Like a Conservative in a Liberal Newspaper.
The dominant newspaper in the state of Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, sports a token conservative among its opinion columnists. It has now joined the blogosphere by, among other things, putting Kathleen Kersten's writings up in a blog format.

The public, in return, appears to have embraced the idea, with vigorous participation in the comments section of each post.

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
