Torture in the USA


Oh my god. This is sick and scarey. And it has nothing to do with Minnesota -- unless you want to think about how ignorant right-wing idiots can elect politicians willing to torture, or elect right-wing cops who are thumpers to be county sheriff.

But torturing a college student for not showing his ID, and continuing to do so because he can't stand up precisely because you as a "cop" are repeatedly Tasering him?

What the hell has this country come to?

MN 6th district full of imbeciles?


I'm embarrassed to be from Minnesota today.

Sure, I'm disappointed that Governor Tim "king of the suburbs" Pawlenty was re-elected in a tight squeaker of a race. Even though he's rotten to the core, it's easy to see how his fake Mr. Nice Guy demeanor and false advertising would delude the cotton heads that pass for many voters into thinking he was a good choice.

I'm also disappointed the transportation "pave paradise with roads for SUVs" amendment was passed, as well. Ignorance and refusal to accept reality is a common human trait.

And there are other votes that of course did not go exactly as I would have liked.

But criminy... I can't believe the voters in the 6th district of Minnesota elected that raving paranoid, right-wing fundamentalist idiot, nut case Michelle Bachmann to the U.S. House. What part of her completely insane antics in the Statehouse and in the media did people not notice? Her habitual lying and monomaniacal extremism?

To all you morons who voted for Bachmann in the 6th, may a million camel fleas infest your pubic areas.
