However, I will be doing a weekly romp through the Minnesota blogosphere beginning this Saturday. My hope is that I can continue to provide the snark once every week.
Comments on this change are welcome from all 6 people who actually read this crap!
that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them." -Adlai Stevenson (1952)
The special Captain Obvious Award for today goes to our outgoing President. Congratulations, because it only took you five years longer than the average 5th grader to realize that declaring something completed before it actually is completed would be a great idea. Could it be that George has been using every synapse possible over the last five years to come to this conclusion thereby allowing all other issues to be ignored? It seems like a newly plausible conclusion...
HOLY CRAP, the Twitter has been compromised and now there is rampant short messaging going on all over the place from the Obama twitter to the Brittany Spears twitter! I should have known something was awry when Michael Brodkorb started expressing his undying devotion to Al Franken and accusing Norm Coleman of being a rampant pornographer. I guess I just assumed that this was just another Machiavellian move to regain some sort of relevance before he descended into the depths of irrelevance as one of the three or so remaining members of the Minnesota Senate Republicans. It wasn't until Jeff Rosenberg started advocating communism that I knew everything with the twitter machine had returned to normal.In the beginning, there was Eve.
Then, for a long time nothing happened.
Then, women got the right to vote.
It has been all down hill from there!

The year is barely two days old and Hillary Clinton has already taken her 2009 "I'm a PSYCHO" picture. What is she doing? Did that guy on the left try to shove her off the stage? Is she trying to blow down a building with her super breath? Is she challenging someone to a fight? You be the judge...
Dear Readers,
Apparently, George W. Bush travelled back in time just to talk to Ghengis Khan. What ever happened to NOT talking to evil terrorists bent on world domination and destruction?
What in the world did we ever do without all the useless crap to be found on the internets? For example, I never used to have a need to incessantly poke a penguin with my mouse until it magically attacked a virtual finger. There has to be a metaphor in there somewhere about how vapid and useless we have become as a society but I am too busy poking a penguin to create it.Second we need to engage St. Paul to redefine a new Minnesota Miracle that fits 21st Century economies and politics. It means fundamental reform (sometimes painful reform) for state and local unit of governments alike. Only then will everyone know the new rules so true innovation can take place. [emphasis mine]
The comedy portion of this evenings daily romp comes from that master of wit, Dick Cheney. That's right, under the circumstances what more can you expect from Cheney and Bush? You weren't expecting that we would have a thriving economy, were you? You weren't expecting us to think before we jumped into an unrelated war, were you? You weren't expecting that people wouldn't be tortured, were you? You weren't expecting competence, were you? You weren't expecting that our cities would be protected from hurricanes, were you? Because if you thought these two would leave the country in better shape than they found it, the joke is on YOU!I hope LaHood likes bike paths. Because he's going to get some damn bike paths whether he likes them or not.
If anyone has firsthand knowledge of Minnesota college faculty who are using their classrooms as an indoctrination center, please contact me by leaving a comment. Also, anyone who has firsthand knowledge of professors using intimidation tactics on students should contact me by leaving a comment. Only I can see your email address.
I’d be stunned if indoctrination and intimidation aren’t commonplace on university campuses. It’s time we started pushing back.
I know I use my classroom as an indoctrination center ALL THE TIME. In fact, I even indoctrinate them into believing that indoctrination is the only way they should learn and if they aren't being indoctrinated then they really aren't learning.
Jeff Rosenberg agrees with Newt Gingrich? Will someone please take away his liberal card? Come on, bipartisanship can only go so far!
When will people realize that Jesus was obviously NOT dark skinned. I mean, he was born in the Middle East and people in that area of the world are known for their milky white skin! When will the wholesale oppression of the white man end?
It's a twofer from Gary Gross! Two republicans win in republican areas and a republican wins in a democratic area because the Democrat is as equally corrupt as say, Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, Don Young, or Ted Stevens. The conclusion? Democrats are going to lose from now on because the momentum is over! As usual, Gary will be hoping in one hand and...
Some lady named Katherine Kersten is whining about people not liking her and such...
Dear sweet mother of god if I have to hear or see one more conservative whine about the fairness doctrine that no one else is even discussing, then I believe I might start a crusade to bring it back just so they will actually have some facts to back up their ludicrous claims.
Gavin Sullivan is trying to start a fight with Chris Truscott? Guys, don't you remember the first rule of fight club?
Last, but certainly least, Leo Pusateri has something to say about something that is really pissing him off right now. Let me take the liberty of a translation: "liberals bad, Bill Clinton, blah, blah, blah..."
Dear Eliot,1. Twitter is good for you and all the cool conservatives are using it...
After having reviewed the video of the shoe throwing incident I have two observations. First, whatever I may think of the Presidential performance of George W. Bush no one deserves to have a stinky shoe thrown at them. Second, you have to admire the ability of W. to duck and weave around the incoming footwear. You have to wonder if he is used to people throwing things at him...
Now THAT is some hard hitting reporting...You can even give one to your liberal friends and have them spend some time with you on the range. Most liberals have never shot a gun and thus fear them. Maybe if they understood guns better they wouldn't hate them so much?
On this day in 1869, Wyoming voted to give women the right to vote. Like most reasons that men do anything, there was an ulterior motive.Wyoming legislators supported Bright and Lee's bill because they thought it would win the territory free national publicity and might attract more single marriageable women to the region.
A couple of good riddance shout outs need mention today as the Democratic Party proves that it too has its share of stupidity.Our members have plenty of hope
The reality is that opportunity in America is not a simple binary choice between unlimited possibility and total victimhood and dysfunction. It's a complex, shifting continuum.
75 years ago today, the 21st Amendment was ratified thereby ending our long national nightmare of prohibition. There are few things better than a nice dark beer of Irish descent...The Alliance gives Minnesota an “F” for not being a right-to-work state, having a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum, having greater union membership than the national average, having prevailing wage laws, collective bargaining rights and other laws it defines as restricting “worker freedom.” [emphasis added]
With that new, but old, label comes the glorious chance to define "Democrat." Yes, there will be individual differences in each candidate due to a unique set of values, but let's let the candidates explain their own stance. What we need is clarity and vision for the party.
I sincerely apologize to Sen. Clark for taking her statements out of context.
The holiday which must not be named as part of my continued secular war on it is just around the corner and it precursor, music, is already filling the airwaves. I must admit that there are few things more nauseating than Christmas music. Does this make me anti-Christmas? No, being a damned heathen secular liberal makes me anti-Christmas!There seems to be a major mental disconnect in Washington over just who is defauting on all of these mortgages. People like me who rent to the masses know exactly who these people are, they are mostly losers.
In my email inbox I received the following message:It is my distinct pleasure, as the president of Americans for Limited Government, to invite you today to become a key member of the exciting new conservative “bloggers central,” NetRightNation.com.
If we can find a few of those in the next few months, we will not need to change the way we vote in order to win. Independent voters are dissatisfied with the major-party candidates? Fine. Let's give them better candidates -- better Democrats -- who inspire them and remind them of what makes Minnesota great.
And leave out the IRV. We have enough problems figuring out how to count just one round of balloting.
Residual Forces is continuing the cleansing of the Republican Party by kicking out all of Governors across the country. Please, somebody make this guy the chairman of the party here in Minnesota! Seriously, it will be great.
Blue Man is back and already producing great stuff about legislative pay. Welcome back, Hal!
Mississippifarian has a wonderful mash-up of rantings ranging from living wages to Bristol Palin.
Aaron Brown at Minnesota Brown is obviously in favor of keeping Jim Oberstar in his role in the Congress rather than nominating him to be Transportation Secretary. I tend to agree...
My wife and I have had a long streak of injury free children going back nearly 9 years to the birth of our first daughter. However, that streak was broken this weekend as our youngest tried to do battle with the corner of a table and lost. Three stitches later, we stand at 2 full days without a serious injury.We have a massive budget debate coming. This patchwork approach that has overshadowed the discussion is not solving our budgetary problem. It is time for big ideas on Healthcare. Time for broader solutions on revenue. Time for a comprehensive transportation approach.
Budgets can't keep thinking about the short term. Minnesota's past strong economic engine was based on forward projections and inclusive ideas.
We need more of that, now more than ever.
This is the United States, it is a Union of States. States can choose to join, logically they also can choose to leave. But of course the issue isn't about what is right or logical. Rather, like most problems in the world, it is about power. If States could choose to secede, it would lessen the power of the Federal Government.
But a study published in Health Affairs in November 2006 estimated that 25% of the uninsured were in fact eligible for public coverage,
