Minnesota Hodgepodge

Land of 10,000 Lost Jobs

Minnesotans learned today that our state lost 10,000 jobs in April. How does that saying go again... April showers bring... (lost jobs)... Boy! Not investing in Minnesota's education and infrastructure sure was a smart thing to do over the years - aye Governor?

Read more at Minnesota 2020 There are some good comments about the Governor's spin.


Mr. Dahle Goes to St. Paul

Today I finally made it out to Minnesota's newest State Senator's website and boy Mr. Dahle has impressed me once again. If you haven't checked it out - do so! www.kevindahle.net And if you haven't heard Mr. Dahle speak, you are missing one of the best talkers ever! Senate District 25 is lucky to have him as their Senator.


Jesse the... Never Mind

Oh brother! Jesse - I was a total fool once to vote for you... NEVER again will I make that mistake!
Jesse Ventura said he "may" file to run for Senate

He could have done great things as our Governor, but he let his ego get the best of him.


Cost of War Hitting Home

Ever think what could be done with all that money that we keep sending over to Iraq???
Here's your answer: Federal Budget Trade-Offs

8,867 Elementary School Teachers for One Year (in the 2nd CD)! Where's our priorities?
When it comes down to it, the war in Iraq is all about oil! Right John?



DFL Party to Star Tribune... GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!

Today in the Star Tribune there appeared the following article:
Political parties to media: Get noses out of our tents

Unfortunately, Mr. Von Sternberg didn't get all of his "facts" correct when lumping the DFL with the GOP on this issue. I attended the DFL's 2nd Congressional District's convention. The truth is not one person was "kicked out" of that convention. And "members of both parties have become camera-shy"... Not so Mr. Von Sternberg... actually the DFL's 2nd Congressional District's convention was being broadcasted LIVE!!! Here's the proof in the pudding!

What got the 2nd CD DFL this attention? A GOP rule breaker, of course!

So who was throwing people out of their conventions? The GOP (aka: Get Out People... Get Out!!)!


Until we "hodgepodge" it again - have a good one!
