Levi Johnston’s (suddenly) public life
They’re out there. In here, I’m safe. But beyond these doors, they’re waiting patiently for me to show my guilty face. Paparazzi with their flashing cameras, angry conservatives who think I doomed their party, nosy spectators who don’t have enough problems in their own lives; all waiting to catch a glimpse of me, Levi Johnston, the unfortunate boy who brought scandal to the 2008 Republican Presidential Race. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. It wasn’t supposed to be this way at all.By Nathan Kitzmann , November 18, 2009
Who knows what happens after the curtain goes down? It’s up to us
Just back from the musical: West Side Story. It’s late — quite late by my standards — but I won’t be sleeping anytime soon. Too much on my mind.By Nathan Kitzmann , November 11, 2009
Bridging the gap — with shoes 
I woke up this morning, got dressed, brushed my teeth, threw on some jeans that seemed clean enough, ate breakfast and drank a copious amount of coffee. I intend to get over that habit eventually.

Poor execs, welcome to middle class society
I am writing this for the victims of our cruel president’s order that the executives of AIG who have not paid back their bailout money be compensated no more than $200,000 per year, until the bailouts are paid back in full.

Detroit Lakes is ready to host Minnesota’s next famous star
There I was, sitting amongst about a dozen people at last week’s Cabaret Night in the ballroom of the Historic Holmes Theatre. The atmosphere was overall very pleasant.

Humble beginnings will stick for future
My family does not just own cars, it loves them, cherishes them, christens them with names.

Taking a glance back at present time
It has been a good week. Granted, I’m in as much debt as I’ve ever been and my kids are still worthless rebels, but work — usually among the darkest spots on my depressing life — has lately gotten very interesting.

The rebellion of waiting until the very last minute
It’s almost the end of September and the Twins are only a couple games away from winning their division. Of course, there are only a handful of games left the play.

Kitzmann column: Cruising to the sweet sound of timeless music
My car — which is actually my grandmother’s old Oldsmobile — does not have a CD player. Since I am personally as poor as a church mouse, I don’t have the means to buy a vehicle that does, or even invest in a new stereo system that plays CDs. I am happy to just have a car that moves, so I didn’t complain, after all, I’m free!

Columns have progressed, developed, advanced
I don’t much like to talk about myself — that’s why I’ve written a column for the past two years chronicling my life — but I figured that since this is the last column I’ll be doing this season, I might be able to get away with a short reflection on these past years and what they’ve meant to me.

Lesson No. 1: Carry jumper cables or hope for a buddy
It was a dark and stormy day. Outside, rain came down in sheets, and I had no wipers to afford me any view of my surroundings. My brother, through some bad luck on his part, sat beside me, staring straight ahead. As for myself, I was sitting there in the driver’s seat of my daddy’s suburban, a licensed driver of only three days and already in trouble deeper than I even knew.

Reunions can be used to appreciate history
Family reunions are joyous occasions, in which people who are related to one another congregate, eat food and reminisce of the Good Old Days or the Hard Times, depending on who is doing the reminiscing.

Bring on the sundresses, cowboy boots
Besides the cold weather, it’s hard to believe that Detroit Lakes is a small, quiet town in Northern Minnesota. Because it’s not. It looks more like Texas, or maybe Montana, at least on the first glance.

Favre lets Minnesota down
Regardless of distaste for former Packer, could have helped VikesWhy did you retire again, why did you let Minnesota down, why did you doom the Vikings to another year of mediocrity?
