Good question…

...from Minnesota State Rep. Steve Simon…

How many more gay people does God have to create before we ask ourselves whether God actually wants them around?

Umm, 42?

Good question.

Heather at Crooks & Liars has one for Mike Huckleb…erm…Huckabee…

I'm just wondering Huck, how many unions would Jesus want to see busted?

Hmmm…haven't heard from Republican Jesus for awhile. I'm not sure he's the same Jesus as Mike Huckabee's Jesus. Only Jesus knows, I suppose. He's the one I want to hear from, though.

Good question…

…for Governor Walker, asked in the form of an epic rant by the Rude Pundit. Here's the nub...

Did you really think that you could merely spit on those corpses and walk away unscathed?

…but you really need the context. As usual, he's not only rude, but profane. And perfect.

Speaking of Truth Surfer…

…that's the source for our latest Map of the Day entry for Map of the Day Week, and another difference between the upper left and Minnestota…



I'm kind of surprised, and considerably disappointed. What's wrong with us, anyway? We have a woman Governor, two women as Senators, scads of woman legislators and we're behind Mississippi in pay equity? Jeebus.

It's over.

To the President of the Senate of the United States:

This is to certify that on the fourth day of November, 2008, Al Franken was duly chosen by the qualified electors of the State of Minnesota a Senator from said State to represent said State in the Senate of the United States for the term of six years, beginning on the 3rd day of January, 2009.

Witness: His excellency our governor Tim Pawlenty, and our seal hereto affixed at Saint Paul, Minnesota this 30th day of June, in the year of our Lord 2009.

From the "It ain't over 'til it's over." file.

Is it over?

Minnesota's Supreme Court has dismissed former Sen. Norm Coleman's challenge to the state's November election results and declared Democratic challenger Al Franken the winner.

Apparently. Hopefully.

And quickly, please.

jnfr does the math…

…so we don't have to. Yesterday's turnout...
