From the archives

I was going through some old disks and found this chestnut; the file is dated November 13, 1998. Hard to believe this all happened 8 years ago. Harder still, when you read this, is to realize how much and how little has changed.

Jesse Ventura Haiku

No, really, it’s true
Minnesota Governor
Jesse Ventura

For the motorists
Saving cash on license tabs
Tax the streetwalkers

Tells Jason Lewis
“Stick it where the sun don’t shine”
Where’s that? Maplewood?

He’s on St. Croix shore
Shouting “want a piece of me?”
Thompson hides ‘neath desk

Right behind the throne
He found a horse he could ride
Dean Barkley, not Charles

Blue collar dollar
Fuel the passing bandwagon
Anoka County

Mayor Norm Coleman
Minnesotans not quite sure
Voting with their feet

Clear in retrospect
The citizens didn’t want
Governor Skippy

Jesse’s ugly task
Save our cash but mollify
Pohlad and McCombs
