Since sore-losering his 2008 Senate recount to state-drawer Al Franken, Minnesota sore-loserman Norm Coleman has been stuck raising money for some random conservative group he heads that likes to air teevee ads. But in January, Michael Steele’s term as RNC chair will be up, and Coleman thinks that maybe he will like that job instead [...]
Oooh, it’s her SECOND ad! This is a major event! Yes, Margaret Anderson Kelliher is the Democratic (“DFL” in Minnesota’s Canadian speak) endorsed candidate for governor of Minnesota, and as you can see from this ad, she is running against Tim Pawlenty, future president of us all. Except Tim Pawlenty is not running for governor, [...]
Republican nominee for governor of Minnesota Tom Emmer supports “tip credit,” the policy of most states of a lower minimum wage for waiters because they make tips, but he made the mistake of saying waiters are making $100,000 a year in tips and hurting their employers. That angered waiters and such, so he had to [...]
Al Franken is the patron saint-senator of comedians, artists, and Mick Jagger impersonators, but did you also know he’s beloved by America’s felons? A “traditional values”-loving pack of watchdogs called Minnesota Majority says that “hundreds of ineligible felons may have voted [in] the 2008 General Election,” and they all may have/probably/most definitely voted for Franken. [...]
When will you people realize that American Congresslady Michelle Bachmann (R-Gumdroptopia) is always right? The liberal Internets are currently going nuts over this latest gem of a Michele Bachmann moment, in which she discusses her knowledge/philosophy of slavery.
In the state of Minnesota, there is a thing called the Independence Party, and that is not considered an oxymoron. Gubernatorial candidate Rob Hanh lost the party’s endorsement to somebody named Tom Horner. So this video was his response? It is probably changing many Minnesotans’ minds right this second. Anyway, as you can see from [...]
Grab the cooler and the lawn chairs, Doris, ’cause the Michele Bachmann parade is coming to Hugo, Minnesota, home of the Michele Bachmann annual car parade.
America’s second most-hated Republican woman, Michele Bachmann, has always been comfortable expressing her views on the important political issues of the day, such as Americans’ constitutional right to use incandescent light bulbs, and the need to liberate millions of innocent unborn babies from Obama’s Maoist reeducation camps. But now there is one thing in this [...]
In a major catastrophe expected to drop the city’s IQ by more than 51%, Republican wingnut stars Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann will appear together at some dumb rally next Wednesday at the Minneapolis Convention Center (Hall D, for “Dummies”). And thanks to Wonkette operative “J.M.,” we’ve got scans of the rally tickets for you [...]
How many big-haired wingnut dipshit political gals can you handle at once? How about two? These two. Here, click and get your free tickets. Don’t type “truck nutz” or whatever in the forms, type your real info, get your tickets, and GO GO GO and MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD or whatever teabaggers do. There’s a [...]
The jet-plane man’s letter today got us thinking of course about RELEVANT MOVIES, especially this one, God’s Country, a 1985 documentary by Louis Malle, one of your editor’s absolute favorites, and one that grows more relevant by the day.
Until this interstate race-to-the-bottom makes its next road trip, Minnesota will now be our Realest American state. Here’s how Timmy Pawlenty wants to eliminate his huge budget deficit (which, to be fair, is a monumentally shitty task for any governor): “Aid to cities, counties and health and human services took the deepest cuts in Pawlenty’s [...]
Norm Coleman is just weird: “MINNEAPOLIS – Former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman says his family voted 3-1 against him running for governor, so he will not join the race.” Thanks for the final tally, Norm. Glad to know democracy is still practiced in some households these days, like when a father can’t make up his [...]
