Hey, like most of MN, I just happily acknowledged Al Franken’s win. We have two senators again. There are people who are lamenting the fact that our State Supreme Court did not order Pawlenty to sign the election certification. They don’t have to. He’s legally compelled to sign it anyway. This leaves him two choices: [...]
I call her the “warhamster” — she’s got the voice of a rodent and is a warmongering shithead. So “warhamster” seems to work. This snotty little bitch derided Barack Obama for being a community organizer. There is an awesome retort on Time’s Swampland blog. And there’s more over at Making Light. Really, I’m just annoyed [...]
I can’t help it. Really, I can’t. I’m just glad this whole process is over with. ABCNews reporting that she’s told her staff that their last day is Friday is awesome to hear. Finally going to concede, are we? Ah, I slay me.

As a cyclist, I think that this is a great thing. I’m fortunate to live in a city (Minneapolis) where we take cycling seriously — as both recreation [...]
I count John Scalzi among my favorite writers, and while the more literary types will look down their nose at genre fiction, the man can write a novel full of big ideas, with thematic overtones that will inspire you to thought, while cranking out memorable characters that can make you laugh and cry over the [...]
So a friend astutely pointed out that if there’s a recession on, it’s not necessarily the fault of the housing market. His theory is that it’s an issue of the rising costs of energy, and I’d say that that’s fairly sound. Energy costs are up across the board — it’s more expensive to heat my [...]
