I live in St. Paul
We take abuse hurled at our city with gentle good humor.

5. I love my area of St. Paul

We give a lot, and we mostly give to the right folks. My zip gave about $115,000 to Democrats and scarcely $20,000 to Republicans.

edit: And roughly $15,000 of that money toward Republicans was from one guy. :D

11. Ha! We were the only ones smart enough to go Mondale
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 02:06 PM by jpgray
:D

But yeah, we're not having much fun with our governor or one of our senators. 2006 is going to be interesting--I didn't always agree with Dayton, but for his vote on IWR and his questioning of NORAD's role on 9/11, I think he's basically a good guy. Too bad he won't be running.

12. That's BS. Minnesota is the only Blue state to get Bluer in 2004

There's way more purple and blue than there is red in Minnesota.

Peddle that wive's tale somewhere else.

10. Doesn't he object?
And isn't the body rather putrified after around 2000 years?

And why don't you set up a big pilgrimage thing for his relics? You'd easily net enough to build a proper house, rather than living inside a dead person.
