The 16 bus is running late and more than a dozen folks are waiting on its arrival. Mayflies are everywhere — tiny critters, crawling over skin, flying into eyes, getting stuck under fingernails. Dozens of them touching down with every passing second. People are slapping their arms and legs, covering their faces. “Shit,” says a middle-aged black man in a green polo shirt as the 16 finally pulls into sight. “The Republicans brought this shit.”
Overheard: 6th and Minnesota streets, St. Paul, 7:55 p.m.

What is the deal?! They came out of nowhere! I just came back from Critical Mass, and I think I swallowed at least 123 of them in 10 minutes.

Hehehehehehe. I suspect the general grumbling and complaining about the state of affairs in the country are now being pinned on the Republicans. What are they going to do? Blame the Clintons?

The Republican controlled Metro Transit is engineered to be unbearable. There are so many simple
things to increase transit use: put large maps on transit stops, actually buy more buses instead of
high-tech gadgets like bus GPS and GoTo RFID cards (worth almost 100 buses but do not work yet)
So suffer away with transit, it is designed to fail.

The question should be do you want intelligence or four more years of a moron running this nation.
Lets see my choice is John McCain or that smart black man Barack Obama?
McCain who does not know how to use a computer but is willing to learn if we elect him – I’ll just vote for that smart black man.
My Choices are: John McCain who says the economic downturn is psychological? – Na! I'll vote for the smart black man.
McCain who says you are better off under George Bush? – Nope I'll vote for the smart black man.
Mc Cain who wants to continue killing more people looking for weapons of mass destruction that do not exist? – Gee! I'll vote for the smart black man.
McCain who believes that we should stay the course but is not willing to support the people he puts in harms way. – I'll take a chance on the smart black man.
Should I vote for a man that does not know that 9-11 was caused by Osama Bin Laden not Sedam Hussein? – Easy! I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man who does not know if the Sunnis or Sheits are our enemies? – No way I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man who helped put our government on the China, Saudi Arabia credit card? – Not a chance I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man with the worst temper in the Senate to have his finger on the nuclear button? – No way – I'll vote for the smart black man.
