And don't forget Raul
Just stay in Minnesota Klute, they need *artists* such as yourself. You’ll fit right in.
WPB is too crowded. Sanibel Island is much nicer imho … besides my Mom’s cousin – a retired union boss from New Jersey – keeps his yacht in Fort Meyers.
Seriously, there is such a thing as a “National Poetry Slam”? Who cares where it is!?!

Let’s see how they fare in court on a published lie. “Racial profiling” is NOT legal in Arizona, hasn’t been and won’t be.
That’s why the propaganda cry to agitate the mob is “racial profiling” but the lawsuit that was dumped into an actual court said “pre-emption,” with no more legal hopes than to get a “”stay” as legal eagles ponder how to get another “stay.”
Not to worry Maryland! They have such restrictive gun laws that all the criminals in the region head for MD ALREADY, and they are advertizing “sanctuary” so there’s MORE people who are very used to dodging the system, on the interstate, coming their way.
In 12 months the citizens of MD will be clambering for their own SB1070.
Patience, patience.
Any government official who swore an oath to uphold the US Constitution should be voted out, recalled or impeached. Promoting in ANY way boycotts of another state in the Union, ESPECIALLY to prevent correct law enforcement is UNConstitutional mayhem that disrupts domestic tranquillity.
Gallup, New Mexico.
What a joke!
I’ll be sure to tell them I will not stop there for gas, food or lodging. Grants has my money, unless they boycott.
Keep this up and we’ll keep a jerrycan of gas in the back to be sure we can easily make it to a place that appreciates law of law.
Gallup is the ONLY town on the list that will actually get HURT boycotting AZ. All the rest are empty posturing – theatrical politics because they don’t have steady business normally with AZ anyway.
However, they ALL are complicit in ATTEMPTING to poison the public opinion. Governor Brewer was trated practically like a rock star by the PUBLIC when she arrived in Boston, much to the shock of the boycotting Boston City Council, which immediately began backpedalling and issuing statements like, “Maybe we acted emotionally and should have thought about this a little longer.”
Too late baby! Mass voters are sending money to the AZ defense fund and are breathing payback against the Boston City Council in Noevember.
Oh, Minneapolis also had to issue a travel advisory to incoming travelers who hailed airport-licensed taxi cabs only to discover Somali Muslim taxi drivers refusing to carry passengers with duty-free alcohol purchases, women, and people with dogs, even seeing-eye dogs. Instead of yanking their licenses and giving them to drivers who WILL be professional, they weenied and tried to come up with accomdations to the DRIVERS, not the CLIENTS.
They tolerate open discrimination against women and the handicapped in Minneapolis, what business do they have trying to pretend they are morally superior to AZ, which doesn’t allow that sort of pathetic nonsense.
HEY…the national council of la raza said they won’t travel here to AZ? Then can they PULEEEZE get their offices removed from our state?

re: Mepluribusunum
I’ve been reading and re-reading the list and just can’t find a downside to it anywhere.

They strap down un-enlightened rubes like you into “Poetry Appreciation chairs.”
“During the recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his Poem “Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning” four of his audience died of internal hemmorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galatic Nobbling Council survived by knawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos is reported to have been ‘disappointed’ by the poem’s reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled “My Favorite Bathtime Gurgles” when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save civilization, leaped straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.”
