Sometimes it's the messenger. Sometimes, the message.
But here might be one of the rare times when it's the company messages keep. A sign touting cheap divorces next to one offering to help women get gun training. A sign blasting GUNS at the reader in the middle and a sad tribute to slain officers on the end. And strangely shoved in the middle is a solicitation to find out how "Senator Coleman keeps promises..."
I blocked the number because I'm not into advertising here (feel free to visit if the mood hits you - the signs are in view as you exit I-94 onto Dale Street in St. Paul).
Call the number and you hear a message from "Mr. Lucky," who tells you that the "police can't be everywhere" and offers to help arm you and train you.
Okay, so this relative newcomer to the Twin Cities needs to know who "Mr. Lucky" is.
A quick Google dance explained that this is Maryland "Lucky" Rosenbloom, is a social studies teacher, a paralegal who has run for state office. He's also a conservative African-American with a radio program who also pens newspaper columns locally and, apparently, has written a book.
Perhaps the best accounting comes from Gov. Tim Pawlenty announcement of Lucky Rosenblooom and four others to the Council on Black Minnesotans done last May. Maybe others with a longer MN background know more about him.
Five signs on a chain-linked fence pulled me in. "Mr. Lucky" indeed.

I believe Lucky was in the Marines. He's a stand up guy. He lives in South Minneapolis and works with disatvantaged youth. He also likes to challange liberals definition of "diversity", that is, if a black man can be a Republican.
