It's July: no politics until August.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!

Reliable Sources

Minneapolis Star Tribune Sports Columnist Sid Hartman quotes Minnesota Senate Majority Liar Dean Johnson as saying:

"Right now, the Gophers and Twins bills look positive as far as passing," Johnson said. "And then if that does happen, I wouldn't be surprised if we vote on a Viking stadium.

"Zygi Wilf [Vikings owner] is one of the better owners we have worked with, and he has tremendous support in Anoka County.

"So maybe the Vikings could get something if the Twin and Gopher stadium bills pass."

Let me see now. The quotee is someone known to say anything for his own benefit. The quoter has been wrong how many times in the past on stadium issues? It appears in the sports section that said than University of Minnesota Mens Basketball Coach Dan Monson would be fired. And that section of part of one of the most biased newspapers in the country, one with a vested interest in the outcome.

Maybe we should get a second source on this one.
