I recently read MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell's book as part of research for a story. It's called "What are the Odds?" and let me tell you, that is an appropriate title, because throughout the book you'll be asking yourself that very question. (a thread; 1/?)
I recently got an angry voicemail from Lindell, with a suggestion that I read the book, in which he said he's “very open about my past.” Indeed, it chronicles his life growing up in the Chaska area, with all kinds of warts most politicians try to hide.
It was his stoned, drunk, gambling, drinking-and-driving stomping grounds for decades. (He’s not a politician yet, but he’s considering becoming one.) I’ve interviewed several times in the past few years, but didn’t know much about his back story.
