It Ain't Easy, Being Green

It Ain't Easy, Being Green - The Green party took another step on its slide to irrelevance outside Dinkytown today, at its state convention in St. Cloud.

The party, built on its platform of hatred of achievement, envy of wealth, and absolute dependence on government masquerading as physical self-reliance, will not have Ralph Nader (the egghead's Jesse Ventura) to rally around - and the Greens will fail to get 5% in any statewide race this year. Their one chance at remaining more relevant than the Libertarians or the Grass Roots party - endorsing and serving as kingmaker to Paul Wellstone - fell short in favor of the endorsement of Ed McGaa.

It's been funny, watching the German Greens self-destruct in the wake of September 11. Now, watch as the Minnesota Greens cease to be relevant outside of, say, Dinkytown.

Been fun to know ya!
