It's awesome that women are not allowed to be governor. 

Also, I want our next governor to be named Knute, Elmer or Orville.

Or Nancy.

Eleven governors in their 30s!

The filthy rich like Mark Dayton are out of touch with the poor working taxpayers. He ran for Governor because he is only interested in how he can further rape Joe Public and take his money.

Remeber when Dayton supposedly represented Minnesota in Congress? He was the only fool (in over 600 people) who closed down his office in Washington D.C. for six months due to a non-existant terroistic delusion.

Can you afford to take a six month vacation? No, because you are forced to pay Big Government money so they can take 6 month vacations at your expense.

"Sick in the goiter"!

And speaking of governor names, I'm a fan of the Bjørnstjerne, m'self.

St. Paul Pioneer Press (MN) - Friday, December 1, 2000 


U.S. Senator-elect Mark Dayton spent so much of his fortune on his Senate campaign and is subject to such high capital gains taxes from selling stock in companies he campaigned against that he says he might not be able to keep his campaign promise to forgo his $141,000 yearly Senate salary. 

``I took a huge hit - somewhere over $11 million'' of his own money that he put into the campaign, plus another $3 million to $4 million he'll owe the IRS in April from stock sales, Dayton said Thursday. ``I definitely need a paycheck. The question is whether I can get it out of my remaining resources.''

I like Mark Dayton more and more. He wasn't my first choice in the beginning, but I was glad to vote for him after he selected YPS as his running mate. I don't always agree with YPS on the issues, but she's smart, she's highly-qualified to take over if need be, she's a woman, and she's from NE Minnesota. 

I think Dayton's going to be a good governor. He's got his heart in the right place and we don't have to worry that he'll be using the governorship as a stepping stone for a higher office as is his predecessor.

Speaking of elders... Tim Pawlenty and Barack Obama are not much older than I am. Yikes.
