My Apologies
By Mitch Berg
Sorry if my output is a little light today.
I was watching all those idiot Vikings fans hooting and hollering, and those chucklehead Vikings players doing their idiot dances on camera, over the news that Zygi Wilf’s and the NFL’s exploitation of the state’s stupid and gullible classes convinced a majority of legislators to allow Wilf to pilfer hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers to buff up the value of his private investment, and I guess I chundered so long and hard it was impossible to write much.
Sorry about that.
Clearly, Mark Dayton knows his niche; go for the gullible, the easily manipulable, the people who think money comes from unicorns from on high, or who just don’t care that they’re making other people pay for their recreation.

Dayton played the GOP like a fiddle, and I suspect many legislators who did vote against the Stadium are silently happy they lost. Quixotic.

Can’t blame you, Mitch. I’ve written maybe 100 blog posts about this ongoing saga and frankly, it’s just so irritating that I don’t want to bother any more. I’m thinking in 2014 we should just cut out the middleman and make Roger Goodell the governor.

There are 49 Republican legislators — 33 in the House and 16 in the Senate — that need a primer on why they were elected.
I have no problem with calling a few of them at random when my tax dollars don’t provide an undefeated season in Zygmunt’s new palace. I want to get what I’m paying for.

A bunch of dupes dressed up and played Trick or Treat with our legislature.
As I posted elsewhere yesterday, “Suddenly those TV commericals with clownish Vikings asking ‘What’s in your wallet?’ just don’t seem that funny anymore.
