Minnesota

For you people who believe Minnesota is called "the land of 10,000 lakes" you are wrong. I live in Minnesota during the summer months and escape around November 1, give or take a few wind chill blasts. For us natives it's referred to as "the land of 10,000 taxes." It's also, during election time, called the "land of 10,000 recounts" or whatever it takes to get a Democrat in office. Unless you've been on the former planet of Pluto you now know that it appears Al Franken will be the next Senator from the State of Minnesota. This doesn't shock me. His opponent, Norm Coleman, won the original election by 200 plus votes; fairly incredible since over 3 million were cast. Coleman was declared the winner. Over the course of time Coleman has won a few other recounts but, all along, I knew he couldn't win. A couple of examples are: In northeast Minnesota, the iron ore region and heavily Democrat, recounts showed that Franken won more votes than were cast for Obama and, in Ramsey county, just yesterday, Big Al picked up another 177 votes. That's also 177 more than had been previously cast. The Secretary of State, a Democrat, decided to count them, anyway. In essence, Al won twice as many votes as there were. Not that matters but Ramsey county is the home of the Minnesota capitol, St. Paul.
I have a monstrous decision to make. Do I stay in Minnesota and live under communism or move back to Ohio and endure winters where the sun never shines? Either way I know things will work out. At one time Jesse Ventura was Minnesota's governor and he's a memory. Spring in Ohio arrives in March as opposed to June in the Gopher State. It is a decision I can handle.
