A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat on a lake below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend…

Jihad Against Designers of Spare-Tire Storage Mechanisms!
I left work a week ago with about an hour to spare before the evening’s next activity. As I backed my van from the stall at my company’s parking garage, something felt amiss; it didn’t turn correctly. I drove about a hundred feet with the sinking realization that I had a flat tire.
Mark Buesgens and Tim Pawlenty Vote to Doom Poorest Minnesotans
Savage Pacer Letter to Editor for 2010-02-27 I’m embarrassed that Mark Buesgens is our state representative. Embarrassed and saddened. By obstructing legislation, he is signing a death warrant for some of our most vulnerable Minnesotans. The MN State Legislature recently…
Words of Wisdom
I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny…
The Things You Learn as an Election Judge
Sitting at the polling place for 141/2 hours did, however, give me an opportunity to converse quite a bit with my fellow election judges. What an eye-opener! I found out many things:
- Health care is just fine in the U.S. – if you can afford it – so we should stop trying to make it so “socialist.” Especially because there was this one person from Poland who said that their universal health care was OK most of the time, but he knew a woman who died from breast cancer because she had to wait a month for a mammogram.
- ACORN has been changing elections with their wicked ways.
- The “Big Bang” theory is ridiculous. God created the Universe.
- If you fill a write-in vote with a non-existent candidate then your entire ballot should be discarded.
- The Internet is funded entirely by pornography.
- The United States is a Christian nation, blessed specifically by God in the Bible.
- People in the U.S. don’t care about life any more because of the millions and millions of babies we kill every year with abortions.
ACORNs of Wisdom from Alan Grayson
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) is rapidly becoming my new political hero. And no, not just because he’s really making the media rounds lately (although that is how I came to learn of him several weeks ago). It’s because he looks…
There’s a Rep for that!
Need Insane Fundie Republican Congress members? There’s a Rep for that! Check out the great video (playing off the iPhone campaign).
The Governor Who Wasn’t There
Minnesotans continue to confound me with whom they elect. For a supposedly “liberal” state, we come across looking like the rednecks of the North. It’s been apparent from the beginning that Li’l Timmy Pawlenty was more interested in his own…
More Lies from John Kline
(following is an editorial from the Savage Pacer of 2009-08-29) It troubles me that John Kline is given the bully pulpit of “Guest Commentator” to spread neocon propaganda. His continual rants against the Obama administration’s policies distort truth and ignore…
SENATOR AL FRANKEN!
It’s official! The MN Supreme Court has just released their unanimous ruling affirming the appellate court’s decision that Al Franken is Minnesota’s newest U.S. Senator! “The question presented on appeal is whether the trial court erred in concluding that Al…
