One Day At DFL HQ
By Mitch Berg
SCENE: In a conference room at the MN DFL headquarters. Chair Ken Martin is sitting along one side of the table with Gretel STROMBERG and Inge “Lucky” CARROLL, the executive director and chief social media meme-buffer at “Minnesotans United for All Conservative Causes”, the state’s primary non-profit political action committee that is no way, no how connected with the DFL, you racist pig. Across the table sits Chad MANBUNFRONDSON, upper midwest outreach director for the Harris/Walz campaign.
MANBUNFRONDSON: So here’s the new ad we’re thinking to get out the vote in Minnesota.
(Clicks remote. Ad flickers onto the screen)
(MARTIN, CARROLL and STROMBERG look at each other. The silence is a little awkward).
MARTIN (finally): It’s pure genius!
(CARROLL and STROMBERG applaud politely in the background)
MANBUNFRONDSON: We just figured that after seeing her husband’s performance during Covid, where treating the state like a bunch of addled infants for 19 months got him re-elected, that we literally couldn’t go broke betting on the stupidity of MInnesotans.
STROMBERG and CARROLL (simultaneously): You got that right.
MANBUNFRONDSON: So, presuming the media vetted the Governor and his wife sufficiently…
(MARTIN, CARROLL and STROMBERG look awkwardly at each other. before bursting out laughing. MANBUNFRONSON, late to the joke, joins them).
MANBUNFRONSON: (Catching is breath) Yeah, I know. No matter how often I come here, I still can’t get used to this place.
MARTIN (Summoning a butler with a clap of his hands): Let’s celebrate!

All the years I was growing up, I never had an “educator.”
I had lots of “teachers” and some of them were arrogant pricks who thought they were important because they were in charge of the captive audience of students forced to take their class, some were union lackeys putting in their time to retirement who didn’t care if we learned or not, and some were genuinely passionate about educating us, i.e., imparting knowledge of the subject matter.
People who call themselves “educators” remind me of people who call themselves “custodial maintenance engineers” instead of “janitors.” Giving yourself a fancy title doesn’t change the job, nor the person doing it. It just makes you look silly to everybody else.

If there’s no credit for late assignments, she must be speaking to Republicans, because late Democratic votes get counted all the time.

Big;
The majority of leftists, believe that they are the smartest ones in the room. That’s why they tend to talk down to their minions, like they are five year olds. The problem is that those minions suck it up and nod their heads, either not knowing it or not caring about it.

All the years I was growing up, I never had an “educator.”
My dad was one of the two best teachers I ever had. He also was the head of the union local for a term or two. I think he’s voted for one Republican in his adult life – mostly because Doug Burgum’s wife was a former student (and a high school classmate of mine).
And he detested the term “Educator” when it came into vogue.

“Minnesotans United for All Conservative Causes”
Gaslighting built into the title. Love it!
