@14, Ventura actually was only talking about St Paul's streets: "Whoever designed the streets must have been drunk. Because in Minneapolis, you know if you're on 32nd St., 36th St., is four blocks away. In St. Paul, there's no rhyme nor reason; it's not numerical; it's not alphabetical. You know, I think it was those Irish guys. You know what they like to do,". St Paul actually does have a few numbered streets in the city center. They are, in order, along Robert St: 2nd St E, Kellogg Blvd E, 4th St E, 5th St E, 6th St E, 7th Pl E, 7th St E, 9th St E, 10th St E, 11th St E, 12th St E, Columbus St E, 14th St E. Yes, at Robert there is no 1st, 3rd, 8th, or 13th, and there are two 7ths.

Yeah I realize it's [probably] his wife, but that makes puppethood all the more likely, don't you think?
Posted by schweighsr]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:25:26 -0800 The Stranger 42% of the vote is large enough, especially when you consider the number of people who voted for a third party candidate.

Frankly, who cares what Minnesotans think when there's so much to be done on a national level?
For those who think he's a joke, or an embarrassment, fine. Deal with it for the next 6 years, because Al Franken is a smart guy whose heart and mind are in the right place, and he'll likely be one of the best senators this nation has.

He'll be fighting for you even as you try to drag this nation back into the dark ages, in the hope that perhaps your children won't inherit the backwards ideology you cling to.

I guess that's the one thing to remember when you bitch and whine about all of this: History has been a long slow march towards the progressive ideas Al Franken holds. No matter what you do, your children, and your grandchildren are OURS. The ideals you hold so dearly are being wiped out of existence slowly but surely. Sleep on that.

Freedom loving Minnesotans must do everything in their power to have this communist removed.

What's sad is that Franken has to go out of his way to be unfunny. Hopefully he's keeping notes & will pen a good memoir
