Michelle Bachman -- getting serious about it
She's off to woo the Republicans in South Carolina who hold one of the South's earliest presidential primaries. If they should give her the nod, the shelling of Fort Sumter will regress to merely the second unhappiest event in that good state's history.
Maybe the worst thing about existing on the northern plains is the noticeable decline of one's brain power. For instance, I can't remember if the current arctic high pressure system is the fourth or fifth of the season. Or whether Al Gore invented global warming and Al Sharpton the internet or the other way around.
There are small compensations. As the neurons freeze, it takes less to amuse myself. I just ran a sunrise errand without carefully brushing all the new snow from the hood. "It will blow off on the highway, and that's very pretty."
The best thing is reading my friends down in the malarial zones. For instance, a Texas lady I know is writing that it may snow on the Rio Grande and using a full year's allocation of exclamation points, and that's almost as amusing as scratching designs on my frosted windows.

South Dakota: Turn 21 and buy a gun, or else
It's too bad they're not serious. A legislative proposal would require every South Dakotan to buy a gun upon reaching the age of 21 1/2.
The weapon would need to be "sufficient to provide for (the citizen's) ordinary self-defense"
The lawmakers are just funnin' with ya though. It's a spoof of the Obama health bill's requirement that you buy gummint-approved health insurance.

Funny that it happened there, however. In the first place, South Dakota is a peaceful place where about 99 per cent of the folks go about their daily lives with a mind set on cordiality, courtesy, and minding their own business. And enough of that group already carry guns to be a real moderating influence on the other 1 per cent.
So they probably don't need it as bad as Kennesaw did.

All across these 57 states...
Do you feel as though you're surrounded by a cluster of dimwits?
Right you are, Johnny. Fewer than half of your fellow citizens -- ordinary folks -- know Jack Schidt about the country, its history, its government.
And since these Snooki watchers are entitled to vote, it comes as no surprise that their elected officials are even dumber.

The test is a nice way to pass five minutes of the currentend-of-the-world storm global warming episode.
