Thanks for the link, Nancy....a new Minneapolis political site is born.

Since the site isn't signed with real names, its hard to give credit where
credit is due, though portraying DFLers as pigs, voters as sheep, and
drenching "insider" Greens in sarcasm makes my guess a wacky
Carville-Matalin marriage of disaffected Greens and perhaps a few bawdy
Republicans. Still, the site is occasionally clever, the Issues List is the
butt of a few jokes, and I was proud to be featured in the first Gossip
column (thankfully not entitled "Fact.") 

Oh - and the cartoonist is almost as good as Ken Avidor.

Curious about the anonymous wits behind the site, I checked the domain
registry for raucuscaucus.com... which turns out to be registered to Raucous
Caucus, Inc., 2336 Rayburn Office Bldg, Washington, D.C.

"Why would federal Republicans waste any time ridiculing Minneapolis DFLers
and Greens?" I wondered.

A quick Google search turned up the occupant of 2336... DFL Congressman
Martin Sabo. Ha ha.

Obviously, the site's creators studied at the Donald Segretti School of
Comedy.
