Minnesota Governor given failing grades

I was glad to see the assessment below and generally agree with it. In fact, I might be inclined to grade a little more severely in light of the Governor's prior Tweet about pipelines through treaty territory being a non-starter. I'm also pleased to see the assessment that there's hope that the Governor and his administration will pull up their grades well before November 2022.

If you're experiencing reactions to what's going on in our state and country that are at all like mine, you're tired of being asked to support incompetent, misguided, unresponsive government. I hate to admit it, but former President Bush had the right idea but the wrong slant when he announced "If you're not with us, you're against us." Too many people these days feel their government is against them, or, at least, isn't really for them. We think it's time to realize that during

Anything Can Happen


 - 1939-2013


Anything can happen. You know how Jupiter
Will mostly wait for clouds to gather head
Before he hurls the lightning? Well, just now
He galloped his thunder cart and his horses

Across a clear blue sky. It shook the earth
And the clogged underearth, the River Styx,
The winding streams, the Atlantic shore itself.
Anything can happen, the tallest towers

Be overturned, those in high places daunted,
Those overlooked regarded. Stropped-beak Fortune
Swoops, making the air gasp, tearing the crest off one,
Setting it down bleeding on the next.

Ground gives. The heaven’s weight
Lifts up off Atlas like a kettle-lid.
Capstones shift, nothing resettles right.
Telluric ash and fire-spores boil away.
