I remember seeing this happen on the photos of newborns once. It was A+ Amazing.

It could be that the image was saved as cmyk, not rgb, and so it appears as an odd, "negative" effect on screen. I've done this before--looks fine in photoshop, but if I attach the same file to an email, say, it looks negative.

Can any techies out there confirm this? Alternate theory?

edgeways, Do you seriously think the DNT will endorse Emmer?  I can't imagine it happening.

Emmer supports and donates to "You Can Run But You Can't Hide," whose leader recently said that Muslim countries are right to execute gay people.  

Emmer also supports bringing the Arizona Immigration Law to Minnesota, a law that allows the arrest of anyone who cannot prove they are legal.  Heck, I can't tell the difference between a Norwegian American and a plain Norwegian, and I don't carry I.D. all the time, as the Arizona law requires.  

People were angry when Target supported Emmer.  Imagine how pissed Duluthians would be if the DNT did the same.

Sam, yeah I know about the "You Can Run But You Can't Hide" connection (I actually sent something about that to MinnPost and the Star Trib in the hopes they do a story on it). 

As to will the DNT endorse Emmer, as TimK alluded to, the parent company is a horrible fit for this market, not only did they endorse McCain/Palin but Coleman as well. This in the heart of a major DFL stronghold, the chances of Duluth voting for either of those options was openly ludicrous. 

Will they endorse Emmer? Alright I might have been a bit hyperbolic in saying "inevitable," but I do think it is likely, trending very likely.

McCain at some point had a moderate reputation for a Republican.  Palin's views were relatively unknown back then.  So the endorsement for McCain was not crazy radical at the time, although misguided for a town that went heavy for Obama (I recall around 70%).

But Emmer is so far from the norm that he is in a completely different category.  I recollect that Target gave to McCain and no one protested, but Target gave to Emmer and people went nuts!  An Emmer endorsement would anger people far more than the McCain endorsement.

Here is the PDD thread on the McCain endorsement. looks like it was on Nov 2nd of that year, which I think was plenty late in the game to get a handle on Caribou Barbie. An interesting pull quote from that post was: 


In 2007, former Forum executive, now DNT publisher, Steve McLister declared the DNT would be used to "shape and mold the community to be business friendly." He also said "The power of our company is strong. We can change that mindset." 


FWIW "business friendly" was the catch words Target CEO used for justifying his donation. Now that we are beyond the primaries Emmer is going to run to the center, he has two months to convince people he isn't a frightening, gibbering idiot out of touch with MN. In two months time (eternity in politics) I can easily see Forum Com using Emmer's act as a cover to justify an endorsement. 

Will it create controversy, yeah absolutely, but most MSM outlets like that sort of thing, just look at the letters to the editor. I swear sometimes they must intentionally pick the most inflammatory examples just to rile people up. To paraphrase an adage, "they can hate you, just as long as they don't ignore you."

I'm all for a local newspaper taking a stand for what is right over what is popular.  But that isn't what the Fargo people are doing.  They are just trying to increase the bottom line of the company in Fargo, which is not the proper role of a Duluth newspaper.

"You'd think after over two years of the same mistake someone would figure it out."

You'd think that if you realized how friggin' understaffed and overworked the photo department is, not to mention a lack of resources, you'd be a little forgiving for mistakes.  It's not lung transplants, people, it's a human being who has entirely too much on his/her plate.  Surely you've been there before?

Dear Lord, please let there be a write in campaign for a moderate from either of the two parties. Our politician/clowns are embarrassing us.
