MN Democrats Raise Our Taxes
Today Minnesota Democrats (DFL) are gushing and falling all over themselves with glee. Yesterday they were joined by a few misguided Republicans to override Governor Pawlenty's veto of the transportation bill. This will trigger a 5.5 cent-a-gallon increase in gas tax by Oct. 1, and up to an additional 3 cents afterward. It also increases the sales tax in the 7 metro counties by .25% to fund transit projects. This legislation will raise our taxes to the total tune of $6.6 billion dollars.

I Guess I'm Voting For Hillary
Some people prefer to think for themselves, but for my money there's no greater source of political insight than Barbra Streisand. Always in touch with the common man, she's consistently demonstrated she has an unwavering vision for our country. When she says "jump", I say "how high". I've been waiting with bated breath for Ms. Streisand to formally announce her choice for the President of the United States, and I'm extremely proud to report that today is the day of the great unveiling. She has given Hillary Clinton the honor of her support. Therefore, I'm proud to announce that I'll be casting my ballot for Hillary in 2008. How can one possibly go wrong when following the lead of one the great political pundits of our time?
Yes, in case there was any doubt, this is called sarcasm.
Al Franken for US Senate?
Today Al Franken announced he is running for US Senate in Minnesota. May God have mercy on our souls. Hopefully we learned our lesson with celebrity politicians after the debacle that was Jesse Ventura. Time will tell, but unfortunately most Minnesotans seem to love the far left.
