Quote of the Day
I saw this in passing on KSTP-TV's news regarding a Senate committee approval of the Twins stadium bill. I didn't catch who said it and I'm paraphrasing, but he said:
The reason used to be that the deal couldn't wait that long. Wrong again, Sid. The deal is still on table, just as it was. No, the reason is that we cannot be trusted. We might vote the wrong way, not seeing the wisdom of handing team millionaires 3 cents of every $20 we spend.
These people tell you how important it is that we get out and vote. But on this issue, they tell us we're not going to be allowed to vote. If that isn't hypocrisy, I don't know what is.
