Take your meme and shove it

Here’s the most recent itteration to fill my tweet stream, I think it’s supposed to be cute. Hail it’s obvious virtues and revel in it’s moronic simplicity oh mighty decider of tweets.

Fist Fights at TC Hip-Hop Awards
Chris Riemenschneider is reporting I can’t remember the last time I saw a fight break out at First Avenue or even at a hip-hop concert. In fact, the last bad fight I saw was out in the Home Run Porch at a Twins game. So it’s somewhat shocking to report that last night’s TC Hip-Hop [...]

Minnesota has ran out of money. I guess there’s no big suprise there as many states have ran out of money due to increased spending and lower amounts taken in by taxes due to the recession.
