So far the horror seems pretty much limited to horse racing, "camping," and folks who have to pee along the Interstates.
The taxpayer-financed highway crappers are padlocked, so motorists should carry 16-ounce cups. With lids, per preference.
The conservation cops herded all the campers out of the state parks. This confuses me. I have always looked on camping as a supremely government-independent activity. But, then, I have no experience with the wilderness experience built around the travel trailer, flush toilets nestled in the pines, electrical meters, and cable teevee plug-ins.
The Star-Tribune, Minnesota's second most important newspaper (after the St.Cloud Times), decided the interruption of horse racing in Shakopee rated gallons of ink. Maybe they're right. What the Hell else is there to do in Shakopee when the Renaissance Faire isn't in session?
Oh, and road construction is suspended, too, shovels locked up, leaving thousands of union road workers with nothing to lean on.
The only remaining question as far as I can see is whether Mrs. Governor Dayton is scrubbing her own commodes in the governor's mansion.
All in all, a tragedy.

I don't need to read any other commentary on the situation in Minnesota. This sentence is all I need to keep this smile permanently inscribed on my face for at least the rest of today.

Lisa,
Fortunately for those of us in the Lone Star State, the group that deals with the ever-present road-side deer isn't the .gov at all. It's the Turkey Vulture. :)
Course, come to think of it, the vultures and the .gov do share some significant similarities...

Tweaker,
The vultures actually provide a useful service at a good cost(free). That's something .gov cannot do.
