Pioneer Press…

It is a proud day for Minnesotans. Or as I like to refer to them, the Minnetonkanites.
Al Franken, the proverbial spokesman for laughter, put his hat in the rink to represent the state. Franken, or if you prefer — Senator Franken – announced his bid today.
From spouse abusing sports superstars (Kirby Puckett) to body-wrangling governors (Jesse Ventura) and “real” booze cruisin’ Vikings, Minnesota is not green to the limelight.
I would like to thank the state for providing us with a periodic smile. To be honest, I just think Minnesotans get bored in the bitter winter months and pay a PR agency to highlight the state. If so, I am going to have to find out if that agency is accepting suggestions, because I have a few.
Thanks for the “cheese” Minnesota!
