The Christ child got gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, but Minnesota is stuck with COLD, FRANKEN sense, and MORE snow. Not gifts of the wisemen. More like gifts of a wiseguy. That is what we got on Saturday night's live newscast.
It seems like it either snows everyday or we hear predictions of snow everyday. Yesterday for variety it started with freezing rain. I'll be quiet and take the snow please.
Minnesota will go from freezing rain to "purple reign" today with the Vikings in the NFL playoffs. The game was almost blacked out due to unsold tickets. The league will not allow broadcast of a game that is not a sell-out. After two 24 hr. extensions enough tickets were sold. These are bleak economic times and some of the $100 tickets weren't moving.
The other Viking news ----the owner wants us to build a new stadium. Hey wiseguy, did you notice the 5 billion $$$ deficit in Minnesota's budget? Just because we are building a new Twins baseball park and a Gopher stadium you assume it is time for the Vikings to cash in? Better win the Superbowl and then we will talk. Purple reign indeed.
Current ballot count: Al Franken + 250. More boards and probably the State Supreme Court have to weigh in before we have a senator. Next time can we just draw straws and spend the money on a new football stadium?
