Did everybody go to the big Tea Party rally in Minnesota on Saturday? No? Well look what you missed! Wonkette special-ops operative “exmartinette” somehow infiltrated the teabaggers by simply walking around taking these pictures. He got away alive! But what is the “Bohica,” and why is it on a baseball bat, and how did the [...]
Dull turd Tim Pawlenty actually did do something dingbatty enough to qualify him for the second tier of the Republican presidential candidates: He put some fringe-right nutter from the Bush Administration in charge of the Minnesota public school curriculum, and this educational terrorist installed a board of fundamentalist homeschoolers and extremist libertarians who then decided [...]
Let’s just do the direct quote thing: “The system is broke. My best friends are minority. They think integration is foolish. It’s a ploy. It’s to get more money.” Minnesota state senator Dan Hall, R-Burnsville. He says he graduated with a sixth-grade reading level, so god only knows how much worse it would be if [...]
Did this guy die after this speech? We are too scared to check Google News to find out.
Minnesota’s Republican lawmakers are, as expected, very angry about poor people. Why give those poor people money when we know they’ll just spend it on the hip-hop and fancy sneakers and for crack smokin’. So, the Republicans had an idea: Until any kind of welfare or assistance to the needy is completely outlawed, which will [...]
When Michele Bachmann lost her bid to join the Republican House leadership last month, an idiot or two decided this meant her increasing crazy-fueled political power had finally hit a wall. (Or a glass ceiling. Or a wall made out of brick and abortion-blood mortar. Etc.) But perhaps the reason she lost isn’t that her [...]
Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota has been gearing up for a bid for the Republican presidential nomination for months. He chose not to run for re-election as governor. He has hit the early-state circuit. Everything is ready once he leaves office on Jan. 3. Except for this: He may not be able to leave. Under [...]
When Barack Obama reveals the census numbers on December 31, it will become clear just how many people have fled the sad, crumbling Midwest, which will result in many Congressional districts there ceasing to exist. Thus, the pathetic battles to govern and/or legislate for these frozen wastelands take on extra importance, as the next two [...]
Bill Clinton showed up in Minnesota the other night to do a fundraiser for Tarryl Clark. As reported by Joe Conason, he didn’t have nicest words for our pal and Clark’s opponent Michele Bachmann. Or, as Bachmann put it in an e-mail targeted straight at the hearts of her wingnut lovers, “This week, while hosting [...]
Calling themselves the “Friends of Tarryl Clark,” some friends of Tarryl Clark — Michele Bachmann election opponent, tax-lover, and all-around socialist — have created an Internet game that mocks Bachmann and her campaign-ad friend Jim in a cruel and unjust manner. These so-called “Friends” accuse Jim of making “misleading and false accusations”! All he ever [...]
OMG you guys: Minnesota patriot-princess Michele Bachmann might be in trubs thanks to her campaign-commercial boyfriend, “Jim the Election Rentboy.” The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party alleges that Bachmann has violated federal election law by letting Jim (real name: Beau Peregino) condescend for the camera just a bit too long in her latest ad. How could such [...]
