Our state government is retarded...
For those of you who live outside MN (tshsmom is an exception obviously) you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Well, tommorow, or tonight at midnight, the government will partially shut down because the GOP and DFL can't reach an agreement on the state budget. I'm taking no prisoners on this one, both sides are to blame for this mess, nothing can get done with the houses divided so evenly, Republicans have the Senate by like 2 seats and the DFL has the House by 3 seats. Get over yoursleves and get this goddamn thing done guys! This is insane, our local government is a microcosom of what's going on in DC. Both sides will not negociate with each other, so there's only one soultion. I need to make sure our side beats the other side (fairly mind you, I wish I could literally do it...) so bad in the next election cycle that they won't get in the way of progress, because we all know that the Democrats are the party of "NOOOOO" and really have no original idea themselves, outside of socialized medicine, and literally refuse to do anything or come up with new ideas in every level of government. After 2006 they shouldn't be much of a problem though... tshsmom, feel free to comment on this considering your the only one who knows what the hell I'm talking about.

true Paul, but when we said no we actually had ideas, they don't now.
Once again, the idiots in our legislatures, both state and federal, are playing party politics instead of being faithful to their constituents!
If ANY of these people worked in the private sector; they would be unemployed today. What did our legislature accomplish this session? They voted themselves a pay raise and screwed around trying to shove state funded sports stadiums down our throats! Their FIRST order of business should have been to establish a budget! The main problem with ALL of our legislators is that they're all rich boys and have never had to live within a budget.
EVERYBODY that I've talked to today has been PISSED about this situation. The general concensus is to FIRE THEM ALL, including our clueless governor! I hope everybody remembers this come election time; anti-incumbent all the way!
Can you imagine the overtime we citizens will be paying to straighten this mess out, after they finally agree on a budget?
What REALLY PISSES ME OFF is that our family has a long weekend and we can't even go camping!!
actually tshsmom, they passed a bill at the last second that will keep state parks open so go enjoy yourselves this weekend. Otherwise I agree 100% with you on this. Nice rant.
Yeah, they said the parks will be open with nobody collecting fees and no supervision.
The state parks up here are notorious party places for teens. The state just gave these kids (and some irresponsible adults)free camping and free rein for the duration. NO THANKS!
I didn't know that, I'm sure you guys will still be able to have a fun 4th.
