Doug,

That was really funny, thanks for the laugh.

Very Twain like, nice style.

Posted on 06/02/11 at 01:42 pm in response to Dayton vents this morning and GOP this afternoon over budget

Not to worry Tony, I'm sure the second mediator the Republicans name will be squeaky clean and devoid of bias.

Not that you were implying anything Tony...

Mr. Spicer,
I endorse your point and position. The question before this nation is who is going to pay the fiddler?

Some months back a posting on CNN put it most succinctly.

"America is not at war, the Armed Forces are at war, America is at the mall."

Kriesel, Murray, Smith and Kelly will need financial support should they run again. Do not forget who stood on the right side of history.

They stood for us when we needed it, let us stand for them when they need it.

"I have no race prejudice. I think I have no color prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed, I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being -- that is enough for me; he can't be any worse."
Mark Twain

You still should write Reprehensive Cornish. I did. He reminded me of something grandpa used to say about horses, that being "there are more horses a**es in the world than there are horses." Him being a farm boy, he should appreciate the humor in that.

Well, like grandpa used to say, play with fire and you're gonna' get burnt. Looks like liar, liar pants on fire Dean burned somebody.

Posted on 05/12/11 at 03:18 pm in response to Same-sex marriage in Minnesota: Your turn to speak up

If this amendment should pass I wonder about the international treaty implications. Say a married same sex couple from Europe is here on Minnesota soil.
Then some mishap befalls one of them and they are hospitalized. With this law in place will the spouse be allowed decision making powers? Will treaty law trump state law? Is this same sex marriage issue ultimately a Federal point of law when it involves another Sovereign nations marriage laws?
Thinking out loud.

An old Ole and Lena joke comes to mind on this subject. Ole in search of a wedding night hotel room is asked by the desk clerk if he'd like the bridal. Ole ponders this momentarily and responds "Nah, it's okay, I'll just hold her by the ears 'til she gets used to it."

We're just gonna' have to win this fight, and wait for the conservatives to "get used to it".

Go LIBERALS!

I would speculate that the GOP cares little if the amendment passes or fails on the ballot. These people realize the Supreme Court will ultimately come down on the side of civil rights. They may have their day for a while but eventually it goes away.
The real trick here is to get their base to the polls to vote on the fiscal amendments. The marriage amendment is just the flash paper of a magician. While watching the flash the other hand is up to no good. Nothing wrong with fighting...
