Here are the top ten excuses for the drinking in Sen. Linda Higgins' office, and for her behavior when confronted at the DFL State Convention:
10. A drink here, a drink there, pretty soon you're tlalking about a real party! 9. Shouldn't Trish VanPilsum be driving in a demolition derby or something? 8. We had to party in the office because if we had waited until later it would have been past some of the staffers' bedtimes. 7. How dare they confront her at the state convention? Paul Wellstone used to walk around the floor! It's sacred ground! 6. You've got to fight! For the right! To paaaarrrr-ty! 5. After a long hard session fighting the powerful corporate lobbyists, we needed to kick back and relax...um...with lobbyists. 4. We were practicing civil disobedience in response to the draconian Pawlenty budget cuts. 3. KMSP is a Fox station, after all, and we all know about Fox News.... 2. It was a sting. We knew the state office custodians didn't put glass in the proper recycling bins, so we were setting up to prove it....yeah, that's it, a sting! And the number one excuse for partying in the state capital: 1. Geez, it's not like we were SMOKING. --M. G. Stinnett A resident of Sen. Higgins' district (See list manager, it's LOCAL!) Jordan REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
