Steve Lange, every week
This is a dream come true for us on the newspaper side of the mighty Post-Bulletin Co. building: Steve Lange, editor of Rochester Magazine, will write a weekly column for the newspaper, beginning Tuesday.
Steve is one of the best writers in town and until now his copy has been pretty much exclusive to the magazine, also published by P-B Co. We've picked up his longer magazine features on occasion, but he's never written a column that will appear first and only in the P-B.
How Steve's going to make this work in his schedule, I don't know, but he'll work that out and probably won't even break a sweat. His Oddchester column will run on the Southeast MN cover on Tuesdays.
Dip into it tomorrow and tell me what you think. Thousands of Rochester Magazine fans can't be wrong -- they love his magazine column and I'm quite sure you'll enjoy his weekly column as well.
This is wonderful news! Always have enjoyed Steve from his appearances on "The Tracy McCray Show" on KROC-AM, and now looking forward to getting even more in-depth thoughts from the Lions and Morrisey dude!:)

Mark, it is occasionally interesting to read an editorial column that actually makes one think, that is, that does not tell one how to think, Krugman does that. I have never read Lange perhaps he will add a new perspective to the columns.

Funny stuff, that Nobel Prize. Kind of got devalued when President Obama won the Peace Prize before he had made a single foreign policy decision and prior to increasing drones in Pakistan, bombing Libya and putting troops into the jungle of Africa.
At some point was Krugman going to write a piece that didn't use the word Keynesian or the phrase "Republicans are (insert derogatory word of the week)"?
I did enjoy Steve Lange's piece though - despite the fact that nobody has bought him a Nobel Prize as of yet....

I always enjoyed reading Steve's columns in Rochester Magazine. Now that we're in Zumbrota, I don't get to read Rochester Magazine as much anymore, so I'm looking forward to his dry humor once a week!

We like to have at least one Nobel prize winner on our editorial page, Mark, and since Krugman's the only one currently, we'll keep him.

Can you drop Krugman's tired and repetitive garbage to make room? Even without Steve Lange's new contributions, that would be addition by subtraction.
