May 31

I would guess that there are many people in Minnesota who know less about Minnesota politics than I do.

I didn't know there was a place to list one's state in their profile. Not sure what that has to do with anything. I'm in Michigan. Say one word about Soapy Williams or Phillip Hart and you and I are done!
