Here in St. paul, we are pretty sure Mark Dayton will be able to buy himself one more election, despite his lapse into alcoholism during his last senate term, his documented mental illness, his irrational evacuation of his senate office due to a perceived anthrax threat (he was the only one do do so), and most of all, his ability to run on a class warfare, tax-the-rich ticket while being a multimillionaire heir who has never worked an honest day in his life. Democrats here will vote for anybody whose name they recognize with a "D" after their name on the ballot. Minnesota as national embarassment continues. Who is Chevy Chase, by the way?

I had relatives who lived in Minnesota in the 1800s, and I watched a Chevy Chase movie one time too. Can I get his dude Entenza to pay me for a two minute interview? Who do I phone?

disappointing

Marc. I read Time pulled his name from their '5 worst Senators' list 2006 to help out.

Who really give's a rats arse what you think Chevy?

Well, Olympic athletes strive to win a Gold Medal, Hollywood denizens try to win a gold-plated Oscar, singers and musicians try to win a gold-plated Grammy Award.

I make a motion for a new award, for the most noteworthy "journalists" of the N. American MSM, entitled the Monica Award, a pair of gold-plated kneepads. I further move that MSNBC's Chris "Tingle-up-my-leg" Mathews be awarded the first Monica Award?

Any comments or other nominees, anyone?

Most "reporting" these days consists of gossip or inane pop-culture referenced stories.

Sadly the ubiquitous female reporters are responsible for a major portion of this inept output. I give you the parliamentary press gallery as a supreme example.

Sad to say that the male output is no better, just less prone to a gossipy tone.

I just love the Young lady Senator from MN who is so high, or lost, that she has to ask Bernie Sanders (Declared Socialist independant VT) how to Vote.. Boxers Energy commitee

Or buying used Windmills from California and expecting them to work....

Hey, can I get fries with that Stassen-Berger? Obviously it comes with cheese.

And Brian M., funny you should mention it, but I have a well-trimmed, well-preserved rat's arse in my hand as I type, and all Chevy Chase has to do is tell me who he supports in this race and send me his address, and it's his. Are you reading this, Mr. Chase? Offers like this don't come along every day, you know.
