Why Minnesota Sucks.

In Minnesota, this . . .
... is a "mishap."

Live from the intersection of "Why Minnesota Sucks" and "Douchebag of the Month Nominees."

Sickening, just sickening.

Clark is accused of chasing a tame duck that was swimming in a pond at the Embassy Suites Hotel in St. Paul on Saturday.

Witnesses told authorities he eventually cornered the duck, grabbed it and tore its head off.

Someone ought to do the same thing to him.

Before all you NRAers get your panties in a wad, I am not anti-hunting. But there's a difference between shooting a wild mallard out in the field and ripping off the head of someone's pet, in front of them.

Lingering questions on The Craig Matter.

1. Who goes cruising for toilet sex in a suit and tie? Wouldn't you need something a little more easy-access, like maybe sweatpants?

2. Republicans have to resign after flirting with a twinky little cop in a men's room. Yet Democrats stay in office after hiding bribe money in their freezer, going on a bender and crashing their car into the Capitol, having "not sexual relations" with a chubby chick in the Oval Office (which is by any reasonable definition more public than a men's room), and drowning secretaries. Does this mean the Democrats will always win?

3. Can any place where you can shamelessly poop without repercussions really be considered public?

4. What's with this "known to cause resentment" crap? You can't do anything in Minnesota that others might resent? Well, *I* resent the Mondale candidacies! Arrest the bastard!

5. Was this a desire to engage in toilet sex per se, or is it a function of having to live in the closet? Where does a closeted man get some without a probability of being exposed (this case notwithstanding), if not in brief, anonymous, no-strings-attached encounters?

Assumption, then question.

So, assume Larry Craig was soliciting the undercover entrapper/policeman for sex.

Is it a certainty that he wanted to do it there, in a semi-public place, and not go back to a motel room?

No, it is not.

ASIDE: Instead of resigning, Craig should switch parties (perhaps to the Libertarians.) That would certainly teach the Republicans who are gleefully throwing him under the bus a lesson. Then, whether or not he stays in Congress would be none of their business.

Why Minnesota Sucks, 8/17/07 edition.

Just moved Minnesota from the "Rocks!" column to the "Sucks!" column.

AND added the Twins to the list of Landthieves.

Bastards.

The Minnesota Twins will break ground Aug. 30 on a new $522-million baseball stadium, though first a moderating panel will decide Monday how much the current property owners will be compensated for the site, on Third Avenue between Fifth and Seventh streets. Hennepin County has acquired the site, a former parking lot and rail line, through eminent domain, but is arguing before the panel that the land is only worth about $14 million, and not the $65 million the owners claim.
