Posted on 05/21/13 at 11:22 am in response to DFL wraps up session with key victories, some losses — and hectic last day

“We had an opportunity, and we came to a fork in the road where we could grow Minnesota’s economy without raising taxes and make Minnesota more competitive, and the Democrats took the wrong fork and moved toward tax increases and increased regulations that ultimately are going to hurt Minnesota’s economy.”

Oh, there's just one thing wrong with what Rep. Daudt said.

What did the GOP propose to do to "grow Minnesota’s economy without raising taxes"? Answer: Nothing. Or actually,...

Posted on 05/17/13 at 09:49 am in response to Why did GOP try repealing 'Obamacare' again?

Because they have run out of ideas.

It's as simple as that.

Norm Ornstein says that "so few of the GOP’s repeal overtures have come with widely acceptable replacement ideas."

Norm, you can be more precise than that: The number of replacement ideas is exactly zero.

"Medical tort refrom" and "Interstate competition for health-insurance companies" are just vague, vapid talking points, not plans.

Posted on 05/10/13 at 07:55 am in response to Reports detail Minnesota's historic gay-marriage vote

Minnesota for Marriage (well at least some kinds of marriage) said: "The Senate must ask themselves whether or not they will choose to classify half of Minnesotans who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman as bigots under the law. They must decide whether it is important in Minnesota to encourage connecting children with their parents. They must decide whether or not mothers and fathers have a place in their law."

Three sentences, three wildly exaggerated claims, if...

This makes me feel so good.

And proud.

Good, and proud, to be a Minnesotan.

Restore the water-absorbing wetlands upriver (south) from the Fargo/Moorehead metro area that is now farm-tilled land with significant water run-off.

That's not a complete answer, but it would go a long way toward mitigating spring flooding (and it would clean up the river a bit, too).

Posted on 05/06/13 at 12:07 pm in response to GOP candidate Jeff Johnson on raising taxes, stricter gun control, gay marriage: He's opposed

Then we can watch one of our fertilizer plants explode!

Which, if Hollywood has taught me anything, look really cool!

Well, except for all the dead people ...

In general, no.

The system has been rigged ... by lawyers.

Who could have guessed?

Every time a right winger lies, we need to strike back and call them on it.

Because the mass media aren't doing it, that's for sure,.

Posted on 04/25/13 at 08:05 am in response to Talking with the taxman about poetry — and deductions

And Lynette and Venus don't deserve this at all.

The ignorance of the MN Dept. of Revenue accountant is astounding.

He actually chastised Venus for not signing with a record company? What the %^#$!&!$ is up with that?

I guess being an independent entrepreneur is being officially discouraged by the state.

And saying that touring to promote your music is simply a vacation in disguise just makes my blood boil. (Ignorant people with authority tends to do that to...
