Delaware Beats Minnesota—Eleventh State to Legalize Gay Marriage.
Ummmm, about Minnesota: this state is YEARS from approving gay marriage. The proposition last fall just removed the first hurdle--it merely blocked an amendment that would have limited marriage to hets. This is still the state of Bachmann, as well as Franken and Klobuchar. We have the hateful Anoka school district and the only Muslim in the US Congress.
This state is not rushing towards gay marriage. In fact, I expect a couple of neighboring states (*cough* Wisconsin *couch* Iowa) will get there years ahead of MN.

A Probe for Michele Bachmann.
Ooooooo... The House Ethics Committee. Maybe she'll get a firm finger-wagging AND a slap on the wrist. This is non-news regardless of the outcome. Except that she will turn this into persecution by the liberal, anti-christian, "fake Americans" she 's constantly hounded by, i.e. her colleagues in the House.

Cherry Street Coffee Update: Sick-Leave Surcharge Signs Removed, Owner Calls Paid Sick Leave "Fantastic".
I was hoping he'd go the other way and completely breakdown his prices into a series of "surcharges": rent, water, electricity, napkins, stir sticks, coffee, cups, lids, salaries, insurance. Just hundreds of signs explaining what percentage of the cost goes to what overhead cost...

They Sure Unskewed the Hell Out of Those Polls.
Minnesota is about to enshrine hetero-only marriage AND a draconian voter ID law in the constitution. And re-elect Michele Bachmann. Don't be to sure that Obama will win here. It ain't Humphrey's winter wonderland anymore...
