Play with the news

Sometimes it takes a little opportunity and a fresh outlook to change one's perspective on a story. Here are a few ways you can play with the news.

* Play election judge and assess even more challenged ballots.

* Toss around the idea of how to resolve our state's budget deficit... it just requires $1,000 from each and every person in the entire state. News Cut has the dish and you have the comments.

* As long as you're playing tag with Minnesota's money woes, why don't you balance the federal budget? We could use a Budget Hero, no cape required for this roleplaying.
