More on Minnesota’s Angry Humorist: The suspect apprehended for planting the fake bomb behind the Minnesota Club in downtown St. Paul prior to an event for Norm Coleman is St. Paul’s own “Budget Bob,” who virtually left a calling card asking police to pick him up. The St. Paul Pioneer Press has an excellent, detailed story on the arrest: “Fake bomb led police to suspect in case.”
A couple years ago “Budget Bob” was mentioned in passing in a Star Tribune story on downtown St. Paul’s historic Mickey’s Diner, which also played a key part in his apprehension on Monday: “Enjoying a day’s work at Mickey’s Diner.”
No evidence yet whether or not he was inspired by the unfunny one, but “Budget Bob” sounds like the kind of character who has frequently inspired him
