I notice also there's no URL in the address box. The "More from Local Politics" is an include, I believe. Automated. And it obviously has a lot of old news in it.

What you've actually entered is this address: http://www.startribune.com/politics/local/ Which is not the address of Politically Connected. That address is: http://www.startribune.com/politics/ Looks like the Strib created a dummy page and let it go to their public server, and Google crawled it because they'll list both in their search results.
