Sisyphus, from City-Pages (R)-endorsed<\/a> Nihilist in Golf Pants, notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Whenever the mercury dips below zero here in Minnesota, two things are certain:
\n1. Minnesotans will whine about the cold
\n2. Mitch Berg<\/font><\/a>, of Jamestown North Dakota, will mock said Minnesotans for being weather wimps on his blog and radio show<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dang skippy.<\/p>\n

Now, Sisyphus trumps up some bogus “evidence” of his claim that southern Minnesota is warmer than North Dakota; cooking the case with all the grace of the Broward-County Democratic Party, he takes temperatures from Saint Cloud (which, given that city’s inferiority complex, are probably cooked to begin with), and ignores wind-chill (note to Minnesota conservatives, or City-Pages-endorsed “conservatives”:\u00a0 pull your collective head out of Joe Soucheray’s butt.\u00a0 Wind chill is cold, if it’s real <\/em>wind and not these dulcid little south Minnesota breezes you’re talking about).<\/p>\n

So let’s settle this the right way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are a North Dakota native transplated to the Twin Cities<\/strong>:\u00a0 Compare and contrast.\u00a0 Where did you genuinely feel colder, there or here?<\/p>\n

If you’re a Twin Citian or Southern Minnesotan transplanted to NoDak:<\/strong>\u00a0 Ditto.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m talking southern<\/em> Minnesota, here, not Embarass or Hinkley or International Falls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sound off.\u00a0 What’s colder?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
