Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Remember When I Said The Deficit Was Going To Be Nearly $2 Billion….

…. yeah, double that. (emphasis mine)

State House and Senate fiscal analysts are predicting a deficit of as much as $4 billion for the coming two-year budget period.

The prediction was contained in a chart shown to members of a legislative planning panel on Friday.

The analysts say their calculations aren’t as comprehensive as those made by state finance officials, who will give an official budget forecast on Dec. 4.

Still, the projections are prompting state leaders to prepare for a tough session next year.

Democratic House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher says the chart is frightening.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty said on his weekly radio show that he expects a multi-billion-dollar deficit and the state will have to tighten its belt.

DFL Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller says lawmakers might start by reorganizing the Department of Employment and Economic Development, where he says a shakeup is needed.

But Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung says cutting job creation programs during bad economic times is a bad idea.

Watch for the DFL to target every free market capitalist program we have, not that we have many. Oh and it will be interesting to see if they will bring up the Southwest Corridor and Viking’s Stadium. 

Afterall, the Vikes will soon be the loan inhabitants of the Dome and well, these people are addicted to mass transit boondoggles.

    Isn’t $4 billion about $750 for every person in MN?
