Bone-headed laws

Zoning laws in Minneapolis make it illegal to have anything (except for those on a short list of exceptions like air conditioners and bay windows) between the ground and the sky in your front yard. So all you folks with bird baths, gazing globes, bird feeders and lawn chairs in your front yards in Minneapolis are criminals.

Here's a law that's far overdue for being changed.

Selective Amnesia and Hypocrisy

Just a list of Minnesotans who have recently demonstrated in public that they are suffering from selective amnesia or hyporcrisy or both.

Reaction's to Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11

Chris Tiedeman, Republican hack

"I've seen all of Moore's films, and he gets progressively crazier. He's so selective with his information that he's just not credible."

And the Bush administration is credible?

Michael Wilson, a marketing wrter planning to make his own film attacking Michael Moore.

"[H]e manipulates the conversation... It made me want to be meaner to Moore in my own film."

Pot calling the kettle black?

Tara Anderson, director of a college organization of twits

"He [Moore]...ignores the previous eight years when Clinton failed to respond."

Yeah, like the cruise missles Clinton ordered into Sudan and Afghanistan to destroy Al-Queda targets? Like the fat security threat report about Al-Queda given to the Bush administration which was ignored for 8 months until the day before 9/11? Like tracking down and prosecuting the first World Trade Center bombers? And all the while, having to fight off Republican idiots in Congress, and the bogus persecution over 7 years by Ken Starr, who found zip, zilch, nada, nothing.

Other Idiotic Ideas

Cheri Pierson Yecke, not a real Minnesotan but just as stupid

Believes the idea of separation of state and church is a myth

Turns out she was equally controversial and disliked in Virginia, contrary to the false accolades her supporters credit her.

Ron Eibensteiner, chief twit of the Minnesota Republican party

Bashes urban public schools for having to serve different populations, including those people -- you know, the ones who are not well-to-do, privileged and white like him.

A dishonest, narrow-minded, ignorant, arrogant, elitist, corrupt racist bigot, if there ever was one.

How about this insult?

Can you imagine the gall? The Senate Majority Leader, Reverend Dean Johnson, suggested appointing three House-Senate negotiating groups which would meet publicly as part of a legislative special session. How incredibly insulting is that? Imagine if someone proposed something so outrageous, abusive and rude as that to you? Holy smokes!

Boy, oh, boy, things have sunk low in politics when someone suggests 3 negotiating groups to the 5 you wanted.

No wonder Republican House Speaker Steve Sviggum is so justifiably upset. Did I say upset? I apologize for the understatement. Sviggum is more than just upset. He is so angered, he has made statements like such a proposal "doesn't even warrant a response," "Dean Johnson has shut the door" and "the Senate is unwilling to serve the interests of Minnesota."

Enough parody.

Who is the baldfaced, lying bastard that is obstructing the legislative process here? Who is slamming the door and unwilling to server the interests of Minnesota?

That would be you, Mr. Sviggum, you arrogant maggot.
