The enemies of order and decency can't stand Sheriff Stanek. He is like the devil to them. I keep getting emails from one crazy in particular and if emails could transmit spittle, well, I would need to open those emails with latex gloves. 

And I would still shudder, as I felt the warmth of the fresh spittle through the thin latex gloves. 

When the crazies and crackpots don't like a candidate, that tells me plenty about that candidate. 

So I say...

You read it FIRST on Johnny Northside! A source within MPD who has been reasonably reliable in the past, especially as far as reporting what is "rumored within the department," tells me in a breathless Facebook whisper that MPD Chief Deputy Eddie Frizzell plans to file against Hennepin County Sheriff Stanek in the next election. 

If Frizzell wins...

Not Just Because He's A Great Sheriff, But Also Because I Love Irony...Johnny Northside Blog Endorses Richard Stanek For Sheriff!

In the video above, shot by Jordan Neighborhood "Super Citizen" Megan Goodmundson, Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek addresses the Hennepin County District 2 DFL delegates a couple weeks ago. Stanek will seeking reelection for Sheriff in 2010 and came to the convention to visit with the delegates and ask for their support in November 2010. This is a very experienced law enforcement official and he has lead the Hennepin County Sheriffs Office well. We need to return him in November 2010.

For all these reasons, Johnny Northside blog officially endorses Rich Stanek for sheriff. I might also add that...

WORD ON THE STREET is Stanek's office has a very sensible policy about serving legal paperwork. Deputies will try a couple times, but then after that the paperwork gets tossed back to the court system. The plaintiff is left to find their own process server, which they will probably have to pay.

I must say, I think this is a sensible and fiscally-prudent policy. Another good reason to vote for Rich Stanek! I hope to one day meet this man and shake his hand.
