That said, the content itself was either boilerplate, or nonsensical.
The governor of a state that gets far more federal money flowing back than it pays in complaining about federal spending?
Dash some hot sauce on the hand that you're biting, Bobby.
]]>Monitoring hurricanes, on the other hand....
]]>Does chutzpah translate into cajun?
]]>"Oh, my God!"
And the dial poll is off....yup, that negative side of the gizmo works while this guy is talking.
]]>It'll be the only way to know for sure whether the "negative" side of their gizmos are working.
]]>money line.
]]>Doogie Howser, Treasury Secretary, less so.
]]>I'm no lawyer (don't play one on TV either) but isn't injunctive relief provided in advance of a court decision if the court believes that it's going to be a slam dunk? That Coleman's case doesn't meet that high bar doesn't mean that he's destined to lose.
Although given the quality of Coleman's case (and lawyers) that certainly appears to be the case.
]]>"Minnesota common sense" would dictate that the three-judge panel avoid doing anything that could be used as a substantive basis for appeal.
Cross those "T's" and dot those "i's"...and force Coleman to hang his hat on arguments so flimsy that even Scalia et. al couldn't bring themselves to reverse.
]]>The 4,800 are absentee ballots were rejected for one reason or another before that point.
]]>I like that phrase..."close out."
And what business is that? Says Marc Ambinder...."Norm Coleman was spotted walking out of his vacant office around lunchtime today, according to two sources. Apparently his office is strewn with boxes and bubble wrap."
]]>But as possession is 9/10 of the law, I am afraid that seating the declared winner on a provisional basis would cast a heavy shadow over the court challenge (regardless of its merits).
My solution...place a fire under the benches that those judges are sitting on, and have them slap down any attempted abuse of the system post haste.
]]>Time to apply the "if the shoe were on the other foot" standard here?
]]>And in the meantime, an Obama volunteer stopped by, asking if we needed rides on election day. First time that's ever happened. I live a couple of miles away from Minnesota Gov. Pawlenty...the heart of the state's Republican power base. It is going to be so sweet when Obama carries Timmy's old state house district!
]]>Another one of names given by a parent who didn't expect their child to run for public office.
]]>When it comes to brains, she puts the "Miny" in Minneapolis.
Working on something for St. Paul....give me a few minutes.
]]>Which makes sense, in a weird way. With all of the kids in Lake Wobegon "slightly above average," somebody like Bachmann needed to anchor the other end of the Bell curve.
