Don’t worry about the Canada thing!
Sarah Palin was good on Saturday Night Live. Surely your son-in-law would vote for her.

You would think, wouldn’t you? But no, he voted for Obama and Franken. I think he is going to end up being embarrassed by both of them.

Happyscrapper, I have no idea how your son-in-law could vote for such a man. Furthermore, I’m Canadian and I’ll tell you right now no one here would vote for sleaze who thought breast cancer was funny or has a violent temper.
And, yes- I say “toque”, too. What else do you call a woolen winter hat?

You have to know my son-in-law and you would understand. He is definitely one of a kind. I think he voted for Franken, not because he thinks that a$$ho%e will make a good senator, but because he liked him on SNL. Yes, I know…he is the father of my grandson and that frightens me. But I love him even though he is a bit wierd. And I hope you know I was totally kidding with my previous remark about Canada! It was a tongue in cheek kind of remark. By the way, did Franken really make a joke about cancer? God help us.

And, yes- I say “toque”, too. What else do you call a woolen winter hat?

Believe it or not, they just call it a woolen winter hat. A lesson painfully learned my first winter in college in NYC:

“Boy, cold outside. Better get my toque.”

“Your what?”

“My toque.”

“Huh?”

“You know…a toque.”

“I have absolutely no clue as to what you are talking about, you hick.”

So, while I still think you are a creep, at least we agree on a couple things.

OK, we agree, While I AM a creep at least I don’t live in Minnesota. (Where they DO have mosquitoes the size of the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz.)

That I can laugh at.

I didn’t even get to “slackjawed Scandi-snowbacks” who think it’s a real good idea to spend all their free time freezing their asses off in a shed on a lake scratching at their iceholes.

You just described my husband.

And the other half just elected the biggest douche bag ever to disgrace the senate… and that is saying something.

I agree.

I would think you had gotten used to the ridicule up there in your dingy igloo.

I live in a very nice home on the shore of one of our gorgeous lakes.

LOL, I am not the one defending the idiots who elected Al Frankin. Go back to Lake Wobegon and talk to your fellow snow monkeys about how you can reduce your carbon footprint to stop global warming…. Because you wouldn’t want Minnesota to warm up to bearable or anything.

I didn’t defend the ones who voted for Franken. I defended the ones who didn’t! I think the whole global warming thing is an invention of Al Gorebot and is a complete croc. I drive an SUV and I’m proud of it.

So, while I still think you are a creep, at least we agree on a couple things.

Wow, just wow, how did we get to this point?

I have been repeating that over and over.

“If you think that what you said was humorous, you have a very strange sense of humor.”

Hey, I am no Al Frankin, Ill admit…

“But the joke should be funny, “

There really isn’t anything funny about electing Keith Ellison, Jessie (”the mind”) Ventura, Paul Wellstone, or Stuart Smalley. It is screwing up the country. There isn’t anything funny about Somali cab drivers who refuse to take seeing eye dogs in their cabs and a court system that says that’s OK. News flash, there isn’t anything funny about “A Prairie Home Companion” either. The only thing funny about Minnesota is that you clowns think duck decoys belong in the living room.

“Calling the residents of an entire state “a bunch of filthy socialist half-monkey half-Canadians” is not the least bit funny.”

I didn’t even get to “slackjawed Scandi-snowbacks” who think it’s a real good idea to spend all their free time freezing their asses off in a shed on a lake scratching at their iceholes.

“About one-half of this state is conservative and did not vote for Al Franken.”

And the other half just elected the biggest douche bag ever to disgrace the senate… and that is saying something. If you don’t think there is a problem you are in a deep state of denial.

“So lumping the entire state into your socialist category is pretty stupid.”

I have observed Minnesota sucking in it’s entirety. Go shoo the pigeons off your infrastructure before they cause another bridge collapse.

“and I sure don’t need to be taunted and demeaned by the likes of you.”

I would think you had gotten used to the ridicule up there in your dingy igloo.

“Your latest post just proved to me that you are apparently a moonbat troll, since those are the people who resort to such crude comments.”

I an one of the last people here who has worked to stop all of this. The rest seem to be on a capitulation/complacency/complaint trip. (”We wont take the “lesser of 2 evils” because we have to out do each other in our echo chamber. That’s why we have been getting the greater of 2 evils”.) But all that’s besides the point that Minnesota has been letting the country down in a major way and that you are being a crybaby because people are noticing.

“Go back to Kos or Huffington where you will feel more at home.”

LOL, I am not the one defending the idiots who elected Al Frankin. Go back to Lake Wobegon and talk to your fellow snow monkeys about how you can reduce your carbon footprint to stop global warming…. Because you wouldn’t want Minnesota to warm up to bearable or anything.

I am just going to hunker down, save every penny I can, and come out in 4 years and hope our country is still standing. Wow, just wow, how did we get to this point?

I’ve never been to MN, but I cannot imagine it is a worse den of rogues, theives and perversions that is Iceland.

Acutally, Minnesota has, for decades, been a very well-kept secret. Everyone thought that the mosquitoes picked up babies and carried them away. And it was unfit for human habitation in the winter. And we all lived in igloos or on farms. It was helpful to perpetuate that myth. It kept a lot of the riff-raff out. Unfortunately, the truth has been loosed. Mosquito control…excellent. Our lakes…magnificent. Winter sports…amazing. Our Boundary Waters…paradise. Our cultural opportunities…Guthrie Theater, Ordway, Orchestra Hall, Museums, Four major league sports teams…MN Wild, Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves. I know I left things out, but you get the picture. You do have to be tough to live here. Winters can be long and harsh. But it is worth it. The only down side to living here is the politics, and I pray that the liberals do not destroy an otherwise beautiful state!!

By the way, I don’t think that Minnesota is any worse than Iceland, do you, Chap?
