The “Million Mom March” – which, lately, draws fewer “moms” than pro-gun activists to its “events” – and “Citizens for a “Safer<\/del>” Supine Minnesota, famous for never having once published a single fact in any of its press releases, and whose leader (and, let’s be honest, only member) Heather Martens has given this blog ten years of too-easy material, have had to “merge” (hahahahaha). \u00a0They are “Protect Minnesota<\/a>“, now.<\/p>\n

Rumor has it that they had to change the names in large part because their old names have become so utterly synonymous with dishonesty and providing false information.<\/p>\n

This blog is happy and proud to have contributed to that. \u00a0And I dedicate its next ten years to extinguishing the group completely, preferably by humiliating them into an inescapable political shame spiral.<\/p>\n

Although a little bird at the capitol tells me Heather Martens may be doing that herself; she reportedly approached a prominent Republican lawmaker with a model bill that was an attempt at a compromise on “Stand Your Ground”; Ms Martens claimed it had been approved by the NRA.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker called the NRA. \u00a0They’d never heard of it, and did not approve. \u00a0Martens had lied<\/strong>, not that this surprises anyone who’s read this blog over the past ten years; if Heather Martens drops a hammer and claims it will hit the floor, don’t buy it until you hear the thump.<\/p>\n

Just saying – it’s hard to humiliate an organization like “”Citizens for a “Safer<\/del>” Supine Minnesota”…er, “Protect” Minnesota, when they do it so well themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
