They should stop making statues of people as they never look like the person that is supposed to be depicted. Bizarro-world MTM sure is ugly.

If Wisconsin can pull off even half of this, I will be a happy camper...

Also seeing that rain-forest clear-cutting is down 60% in Brazil, after removing that last fascist asshole they had..

What a beautiful world this could be....

Ross Perot's huge sucking sound will be people fleeing the hellscape of Iowa (my home state) for refuge in civilized Minnesota.

"...a board is being created to help past Pot Criminals clear their records (mostly jazz and Allman Brothers, we understand)."

When I was a kid, my mother used to bake bread. It usually came out of the oven just when I got home from school. I never felt guilty grabbing the first hot, buttered slice.

I vacationed in small town Minnesota almost every summer as a child. So trust me when I say...MOSQUITOES!

There are times during dark winter days that I ask myself why I live in Minnesota. Then I read articles like this and I remember why.

I’m from Minnesota but I lived for a year in Florida around 2007. Luckily I lost my job and we mutually agreed that I was too Midwestern to really be comfortable there. Plus as someone with redheads on both sides of the family, the beach was never a place I felt comfortable.

Note: hilariously, during the year I lived in Florida I lived in West Palm Beach, leading to an e-tailer from whom I bought a pen thinking I was former Secretary of State of the State of Florida Katherine Harris. He sent me an extra pen!

So now they just need to get fair voting districts enshrined in the state Constitution, and Repubs may as well move.

There's a good documentary called "Slay the Dragon" about unfucking gerrymandered Republican districts in the Midwest. Highly recommend.

Who said Minnesotans were allowed to have nice things? Did you check with Michelle Bachmann?

That would entail being able to find her. I don't think the great former Rep from the gerrymandered-to-shit district that I grew up in is exactly booked and blessed these days.
