Your biweekly Kerdle from wordle.net.

You know, sometimes I think her wordles open windows into her real obsessions. Click to read her actual post at your own peril, or just take my word for it that this Tom Toles ‘toon covers everything she has to say and then some.

A Day in the Life: Who is Minnesota? Look online at some blogs to find out.

A long hed from Alleen Brown but her story contains a list of links to Minnesota blogs, of which I am one.

Interesting list filled with blogs I did not know about. Here’s the screenshot they took of some atypical content from me:

“I blog because I’m dissatisfied with the news media we have today”

or

“Because it’s become a habit.”

Use whichever works best for you.

[Note to self: try not to say fuck today.]

[Self to note: too late!]

UPDATE: I’ve been clicking on the other blogs in Brown’s article and I have to give Weapons of Massdistraction some kudos for what is easily the most disturbing picture I’ve seen since I did a nude centerfold of myself for an underground newspaper almost forty years ago.

PZ has text to go with, but mostly I’m in awe of this visual:

Gov. BridgeFail hasn’t hit rock bottom yet, but he’s getting there fast enough:

[Pawlenty] asked if they were tired of having “Democrats shove health care down your throats,” begging China to pay America’s debts and having the French president “lecturing us on the danger of appeasement.”

Each time, the crowd shouted, “Yes!”

Because healthcare is a scary big French dick of the sort you encounter in Chinese bankdellos.

I think the fact that Michele Bachmann voted at all is more noteworthy than her nay vote on health care for non-seniors (over the summer Bachmann racked up a 31% absentee rate on roll call votes). She was joined by Eric Paulsen, John Kline and Collin fucking Peterson.

Nice map, btw.

The coloring book sounds nice.

No Vikings today but Timberwolves tonight and in the meantime access to my kitchen sink has been obstructed by dishes.
