Stephen Colbert needs to give a keynote up at the Strib. Light a fire under their fatcat asses while he’s on a roll.

The train doesn’t go to St. Paul, it brings people from there.

How do you well meaning types out there deal with this shit? I wish this was an issue that I didn't care about, like health care or education or whatever.
