Emmer Hits Smarmy On Yuk Scale

It's official, Emmer has hit smarmy on the yuk scale...It's not so much that he apparently has a drinking problem (well come on 2 DWIs!), but that he sees them as 'no big deal' and sponsors a bill to lessen the penalties for DWI (gives a whole new meaning to self serving!). With that kind of history I wouldn't let my dog ride in a car he was driving regardless of how long ago he got 'caught' arrested. Once is a mistake, more than that is a pattern of behavior that show a lack of judgement, control, and personal disciple.
 

What's next...will Emmer defend Target's spending as freedom of speech?...er..sigh...just keep saying "Government of the corporation, by the corporation, for the people, for the corporation..." This sure as hell ain't Kansas America any more.



PS...On another track: This sounds down right ominous: Speaking from an undisclosed location in London this week, Assange told Forbes that WikiLeaks' coming disclosures will include information on BP. Can't wait for this one...

We made it another week...enjoy the weekend and don't drink and drive like Mr. Emmer.

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

Image
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...
