Depression...

 
It's tough to be a Democrat and sports fan in Minnesota right now. Here's a recap of what's been going down:

-Democratic Senator Dayton announces his decision not to run for a second term.
-The Timberwolves lose their sixth straight game to Memphis and fall below .500 for the first time in eight years.
-No Minnesota Wild hockey due to the lockout between players and owners (which I actually believe will be beneficial in the long run).
-It's cold here.
-The Vikings stink and will most likely stink for my lifetime.
-The Twins apparently think that the way to get to the world series is to let good players get away year after year, and replace them with rookies consistently.
-The Gopher hockey team is playing mediocre.
-The Gopher mens basketball team is playing slightly above average (Ooooo... Yay...)
-Democratic mayor of St. Paul, Randy "Traitor" Kelly, is in the midst of a corruption probe involving his assistant.
-Bushs new budget leaves out his planned Social Security reform, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and making his tax cuts permanent. I think that's how I'll balance my budget. I'll leave out my mortgage payment, my truck payment, and my cell phone. See, I have lots of money to spend this month! Maybe it's not so bad.
