FRIDAY, May 9 HEADLINES Sweet St. Paul http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/11362 by Mary Thoemke, TC Daily Planet If you want to surprise your mom with a very sweet gift on her day, St. Paul offers locally-made chocolate and candies. Here are three shops that I explored this week, each of them delightful in their own way. Media mum as McCain 'spiritual guide' calls for the destruction of Islam http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/11373 by Paul Schmelzer, Minnesota Monitor Islam "intends, through violence, to conquer the world," and "America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed." So says pastor Rod Parsley, who on February 26 endorsed John McCain for president. McCain has praised Parsley up and down, for his "leadership" and "guidance" and as a "moral compass" and a "spiritual guide."

Food and Restaurants Rice Paper Restaurant. . .another neighborhood gem in Linden Hills http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/11313 by Phyllis Louise Harris, Asian Pages Every neighborhood in the Twin Cities has its own special atmosphere and Linden Hills is like a cozy small town in Middle America. Nestled in the hills just west of Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, it was once a major stop on the streetcar line going from downtown Minneapolis to Morningside. It boasted a grade school (torn down to make way for town homes), a florist (still there), a drugstore with a soda fountain (long gone), and a variety of shops. Today, it is a cozy conclave of small businesses, food markets and restaurants. Get Sauced!
