    In a letter to the Obama administration Friday, the governor requested a federal disaster declaration for the counties of Aitkin, Carlton, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Goodhue, Kandiyohi, Lake, Meeker, Pine, Rice, Sibley and St. Louis, as well as the Fond du Lac Tribal Nation, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and the Grand Portage Tribal Nation.

    Part of me feels the same way. Dayton has to go and it couldn’t happen not a minute too soon.

    The other part says let ’em have the $$$ to prove the notion that a sovereign nation doesn’t exist any longer. The moment those funds are taken all bets are off and those treaties can be thrown out the window and burned.

    History will tell you that throwing money at people only holds them back in society and they have no incentive to go to school and get a job. Why work for minimum wage when you can just walk to the mail box and pick it up for free?

    I always respected Wellstone, as at least he did not hide or lie about what he believed in, i.e, big government control of all segments of our country.

    He did lie about running for a third term though, and for me, you are only as good as your word…

    Those who would scoff at his death, probably only knew he was a democrat which made him evil. He was BEGGED for the 3rd term and in fact, did not serve it. As to why he did not serve it, tragic. His wife and daughter also loss their lives in the crash…. I would ask the question, should Dayton have his family with on the ill conceived flight too ???

    I do not scoff at his death, I said he lost my respect for him by even running a third time regardless of who begged him. As I said, in my book, you are only as good as your word.

    If reference to your other comment, isn’t that the problem today, if somebody is not in your party, they are therefore evil…just check in Wisconsin for any questions on that.

    What happened to the middle ? The true middle, not what is discussed by the talking heads on TV and radio as reaching across the aisle…
