ALL OF THAT IS GREAT

sad i can't be up for that, last two days of school *sweat emoticon*

So glad the Jesse Ventura Era in MN is over and done.

Is he against gay marriage? Seems like he'd be for it. I mean, he's loathsome for lots of other reasons though

Former pro wrestlers and Navy SEALs would seem to me to be very unpredictable on their attitudes to gay marriage.

i think he's a civil unions only dude?

Jesse is pro gay marriage and he & his wife made TV spots for MN United in the campaign against the amendment that would have banned gay marriage

Jesse was not some big right winger, crazy but I'd take him over pawlenty any day

this bit from his wiki is in character:

In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, he reaffirmed his support of gay rights, including gay marriage and gays in the military, humorously stating he would've gladly served alongside homosexuals when he was in the Navy as they would've provided less competition for women.

ALL OF THAT IS GREAT

otm

Ventura said the issue is personal for him because when he was a professional wrestler he had a friend who was gay who had been with his partner for more than 20 years. When his friend's partner got sick, he was unable to be by his bedside because hospital rules allowed only spouses or next of kin.

"And because they are not allowed to be married, he's neither. That's cruel," he said.

Ventura said he believes the majority should not be able to make decisions about the civil rights of a minority.

"If you did that, we would still have slavery because the majority isn't going to think about the minority," he said. "You have to have politicians with courage, who will stand up and say this is a civil rights issue, and where do we get off that the government should decide who you should fall in love with and marry?"

The residential portion of the project involves 300 rental or owner-occupied units — a study will determine what the exact mix will be, Collins said. Currently, several hundred apartments are being built or renovated downtown, including nearly 800 luxury units along the light-rail line.

sigh

A Central Park in minneapolis could be really cool, but I wonder what kind of mayhem would ensue if they close off Park, Portland, and 5th Ave.

Loring Park already exists, though.

dont want to step on any toes, but at this point loring park kind of sucks tho

So sorry to hear that fatherhood and motherhood have been abolished in MN.

i blame loring park

I better not see mothers and fathers dressing their fat children in purple and gold over at Loring Park this June.

there are no mothers and fathers anymore

i dropped my little one off at a gay reeducation camp :(

“This decision was not impacted in any way by the recent inquiries into the activities of my former presidential campaign or my former presidential staff,” she added.

In January of 2011, Mrs. Bachmann delivered her own, unofficial “Tea Party” response to President Obama’s State of the Union address. She mocked the president’s fiscal policies and urged a repeal of the president’s health care plan known as Obamacare. But the brief, televised response prompted comedy sketches because of its low production values and because Mrs. Bachmann appeared to be looking off to the side throughout her remarks.

FIN

one step closer to the socialist utopia we were always meant to be.

Everyone, drink from my cider!

i am digging the fact that this year has been doing a lot to help me tell out of staters that wanna recast mn as creepingly right wing to stfu.

Seriously. Back to blue, baby!

I love that Minnesota has gone from pretending it's the Arctic Circle to pretending it's Seattle.

What other meteorologically depressing locales can we emulate this year?

i expect we will make a run at "surface of the sun" in august

we already did that in MA, it was pretty cool

...wait

JJ - what's the scoop on the fireside lounge? I had to go to a visitation in the area, and noticed that, the fact they advertised cocktails & homemade gravies was intriguiging
