The 2010 recount is fizzling out faster than a glass of soda on a counter top. Flat, sticky, warm, and ready-to-dump; sounds like a stale beverage and MN politics. We're ready to swear in a borderline incompetant, who happens to have a large trust account and can afford to spend it chasing political windmills. We have a $6B projected deficit, with an aging population, and infrastructure in need of replacement / repair.
Do we get to look forward to more 'special sessions'? According to reports, all the cards have been played, and now it's time to make hard decisions about real cuts, and real tax increases. And while Tim Pawlenty gets to parachute out of the mess he had a significant hand in creating, the rest of the elected officials in place get to deal with it. And I'm not sure they're up to the task, especially "Chauncey Gardiner" Dayton, our recount winner.
Oh boy...
