These are dark and crazy times. I have to pass a house with two lawn signs for "Harris" where they obviously just cut "Biden" off the top and so, half a sign. But the worst part, on the same lawn, between the halves supporting Kamala, is a four foot sign with Franklin's statement "A republic if you can keep it." I am so tempted to stop by and find out where the disconnect lies, but honestly, whoever lives there scares me more than the many outrageous displays of yard demons for the upcoming "Trick or Treat."

The City Administrator of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Stephanie Hirsch, breezed in last year and unilaterally ordered up some Congolese for her city. She expressed a vague sense of hurt feelings at the local reception of her decree ("Not great, Stephanie!"). Her father was a friend of mine . . . where did he go wrong in raising this clod of a daughter?

Eau Claire and other cities are also knocking together ugly, medium-density blocks of housing in empty store lots and such. They're all over the landscape here and in the Twin Cities. What the hell? Is this that bullshit Obama was planning?

Meanwhile, carjackings are up over 200% in Minnesota's Twin Cities. This must have something to do with "joy" and "turning the page," but I'm not sure what.
