Boo Texas and Kansas - yay Minnesota!
Texans approved a ban on gay marriage.
To all of my homos in Texas, I’m sorry y’all - it’s time to head north (or stay and fight, but please, don’t be complacent)!
The Kansas board of education approved teaching “intelligent design” in science classrooms (link). Lovely. Because no one knows that “intelligent design” is a fancy way of saying “creationism,” right?
R.T. Rybak is still the Mayor of Minneapolis.
Chris Coleman beat out Randy Kelly (the incumbent) for Mayor of St. Paul.

Thank goodness.
It cracks me up that two democrats were running against each other.
Then again, one was a traitor (publically supported Bushie and, one would assume, voted for him in the last Presidential election) and the other was not.
Don’t mess with Minnesotans’ party loyalty, Randy. Conisder it a lesson learned.
In grass roots political news, I walked past this nerdy green party guy (Aaron Neumann) on the corner of University and Pleasant (aka 15th Ave. SE) in Dinkytown this afternoon.
He didn’t win, but it was cool to see him (and friends) on the street corner crankin’ hip hop beats, spreading the word with a microphone/megaphone, and rocking the hell out of the vote.
Right on, Neumann!

Dude, I’d so be back up north if I could. 5 more years…blah…I know it will get better, but these days suck. And stupid kansas…they’re fools.
Thanks for the support though, cheers me up :-)
