What the heck happened to Minnesota?
I haven't been to Minnesota much -- changed planes at the MSP airport, went out to a job for a customer in Eagan -- but my impression has been that it's a nice place with decent people. Such impression encouraged by the memory of Hubert Humphrey (odd to think that he ran for President once, and came fairly close), and Garrison Keillor. But now? Now they're just weird. They have Michelle Bachman -- they actually elected her to the House of Representatives, and more than once, too. And they've got state legislators who seriously want to pass a law making it illegal for people on public assistance to have more than $20 on them at any time (that's the second cut; first time, it was any cash on them).
What is with these people? Have they lost their minds? Or is it a general malaise that's sweeping the Midwest, from Wisconsin and Minnesota and Michigan?
And if so, then, like a zombie attack: who's next?

Is this really true? REALLY? They must be on drugs or something.
I believe that it's true, though I find it hard to accept. It's possible that this is a gimmick - trying to ask for the absurd to allow the merely unreasonable to seem comparatively acceptable.
