Marvin Carter St Paul first Black Mayor
![]() |
In a historic win, former St. Paul City Council member Melvin Carter III was elected mayor Tuesday night, earning more than 50 percent of the vote and overtaking his nearest rival Pat Harris by a wide margin.
Carter, 38, will be the first African-American to serve as mayor in St. Paul.
“This is the honor of a lifetime,” Carter said late Tuesday night. “Being able to carry a majority of the first-choice votes says to me loud and clear that St. Paul is a city ready for change.”

WTF: Tea Party Leader makes joke, resigns...
Tea Party leaders in Arkansas are on the defensive after a board member of a Tea Party group in the Ozarks made a racist joke at a rally over the weekend drawing laughs from the audience.
The Baxter Bulletin in north-central Arkansas reported that Inge Marler made the comments at the annual rally of the Ozark Tea Party. The remarks, which suggested that African-Americans are on welfare, were condemned by Tea Party leaders in the state. The Bulletin reported that the condemnation came after they contacted the Tea Party for comment.
The Bulletin reports that Marler, who told the newspaper she would stop using the joke, said the following as an ice-breaker in her speech:
“A black kid asks his mom, ‘Mama, what’s a democracy?’
“‘Well, son, that be when white folks work every day so us po’ folks can get all our benefits.’“‘But mama, don’t the white folk get mad about that?’“‘They sho do, son. They sho do. And that’s called racism.’”
Marler said she, too, regretted repeating the “joke” that she said she found on the Internet. She said a welfare abuse issue is larger in scope than the “joke” encompasses. The issue should include everyone who “bleeds red” and abuses welfare benefits, she said.

Spike Lee talks politics
GQ: The election is coming up. You've been a big supporter of Barack. Why do you think so many people are so critical of him?
Spike Lee: I can't say to all the people that are unhappy with him that they're racist people. People ain't got jobs, people are hurting. So I don't care what color you are, if people are out of work, it's tough. And then when you're the first African American president, that's not helping either. I just had a meeting with somebody high up in the Obama campaign this morning and the people have to get out and vote. This thing is not a lock. It is not a lock that president Obama is getting a second term and people have to really rekindle the enthusiasm that we had the first time.

GQ: When do you see Barack pulling away if he wins?
Spike Lee: Once we get to the debates my man is going to tear him up! It's going to be obvious who should lead this country for the next four years once they go head to head, toe to toe, elbow to elbow, butt to butt. And I don't think Mr. Romney can hang with him. He just can't!

The KIller and the Lair: Busted!!!
Killers wife arrested!
It's amazing what people will lie about... everything is traceable! It is impossible to move $155k into a Credit Union account without anyone finding out about it. Dumb-ass!
If they will lie about the little things; more than likely he will lie about the big thing- killing a defenseless boy.
