Like Peas and Carrots, Politics Can Be Messy: A Sad Day in Minnesota

Mama Always Said...

Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. And this news about Minnesota? It's like biting into a chocolate that tastes like...sadness. Senator Klobuchar she was talkin' about this lady named Mellissa Hortman a Democrat and how she was shot. Shot can you believe it? Seems like just yesterday I was playin' ping pong for world peace and now this.

Door Knocking and Raising Kids: A Tough Job Like Shrimp Boating

Klobuchar she said Mellissa was doin' all sorts of things like knockin' on doors and raisin' kids. Reminds me of Jenny always runnin' around doin' somethin'. But this Mellissa she was in politics. That's a tough job like shrimp boat captain but without the shrimp. Klobuchar said she and Mellissa were 'moms with young kids'. She was able to 'balance getting to know everyone door knock every house in her district while raising two children'. I just wish everyone in the world the political world knew this woman like we know her in Minnesota.

Run Forrest Run...But Not Toward Danger

They're lookin' for the fella who did it name of Vance Luther Boelter. Seems he shot another fella too Senator John A. Hoffman and his wife Yvette. They're hangin' in there Klobuchar said. They're lookin' for Vance in South Dakota. Klobuchar she said if you see the fella don't go near him. 'Not approach him' she said. I know a thing or two about runnin' from danger and let me tell you listen to the lady.

Manifesto? Sounds Like a Whole Lotta Trouble

Apparently this fella Vance had somethin' called a 'manifesto' in his car. Had names of important folks on it. Senator Klobuchar got extra security but she didn't even ask for it. Just shows you sometimes life just hands you things like Lieutenant Dan handin' me all that Bubba Gump Shrimp Company money.

Stupid is as Stupid Does and Violence is Always Stupid

Mama always said 'Stupid is as stupid does.' And shootin' folks? That's about as stupid as you can get. This whole thing makes me sadder than when Jenny left on that bus. Hope they catch this Vance fella soon and that everyone stays safe. And to Mellissa's family I'm real sorry for your loss. Sometimes there just aren't enough rocks to skip to make things right.

That's All I Have to Say About That

So that's the news from Minnesota. Like Lieutenant Dan always said 'Take care of yourself.' And remember life might be like a box of chocolates but maybe we can all try to put a few more good chocolates in there ya know? That's all I have to say about that.
