CD5, don’t worry, it will be over soon

So Mike has been filling Paul’s roll in the final week, that’s a shame. However Ember is not being completely straight with us either.

From MPR: (emphasis mine)

Reichgott Junge says she’s a proven progressive, and is disappointed with Erlandson’s mailing. “There is no question that I’m strong on gun control, there is no question that I have always opposed the Iraq war, there is no question that I always opposed the privatization of Social Security. He says differently. He is just simply misleading the voters,” says Reichgott Junge.”

Hmmm, Ember strong on gun control? Really now...

There is a big difference in criticism on their record and personal attacks. Ember needs to understand that questioning her past voting record is always legitimate, and it is in question.

Thanks for the link to the MPR story, which I hadn't heard. How in the world is Ember's vote for stripping Minneapolis of its power to regulate guns more strictly actually a vote for getting that power for the suburbs, as she contorts herself to claim? I don't want to slam John Kerry, but it's a lot like, "I voted for the war before I voted against it."

Snow Snakes, Bigfoots, Voter Fraud, and Other Things That Go Bump In MN's GOP Dreams

Minnesota has historically prided itself on a large voter turnout. Typically we have been among the top few states in the nation with a large voter turnout. In addition, voter fraud has been extremely rare (26 cases out of hundred of thousands of voters last election!). Naturally, the MN GOP feels a need to address this pressing and overwhelming 'non-existing state problem' of lots of voters and a statistically non-existing voter fraud of less than 100th of a percent! The GOP propose to protect Minnesotans against this 'non-existing problem' by spending more of our tax dollars. They want to mandate voter IDs while adding ID machines to every vote location. Really?! What state are they living in? Has Minnesota become California? Where's the common sense in this kind of worthless legislation? What's not to love here...spending tax dollars on imaginary problems. Our State budget is in need of balancing with a projected 6 billion dollar deficit, jobs need to be cr...

Route 66: Illinois and Twinkies

Image
Currently I'm traveling down Route 66 with the odd side trip here and there...I'm blogging about my Mother Road adventure at The Grateful Muses blog but side trips and odd things that don't quite fit the travel log will get posted up here...like this one about Twinkies... Old Twinkies advertisement tin As Route 66 is America's Main Street, so are Twinkies America's snack cake. And guess what? Twinkies were invented in Illinois... Schiller Park in the 1930's. The inventor James Dewar realized that several machines used to make cream filled strawberry shortcake sat idle when the berries weren't in season. That's when he conceived a snack cake filled with a banana cream filling. He came up with the name Twinkies when he saw a billboard in St. Louis for 'Twinkle Toe Shoes....giving birth to 'Twinkies'. Due to the rationing of bananas during WWII, the company was forced to change the filling to vanilla cream...making them even more pop...
