The “victory” was in screwing the taxpayers to the tune of a half a billion $$$, with the complicity of the governor (the guy on the right) and his appointed lackeys. ---

First off I don’t think this thread is going in any direction good. Secondly it is not nice to make those who are not from Minnesota have to google to find out what the thread is even about. For those who want to know what the fuss is about these should help.

Well, yes, it’s somewhat of an inside joke (the joke’s on us, haha) but I thought the first pic was just kinda cool and needed some excuse to post it. I mean, just look at zygi’s face - priceless. But it needed some context. Oh, and BTW, your links don’t really tell the gory details behind the sellout. It’s a long story and I won’t go into it. Sorry if you’re offended by it. ---

I was also just a little bit worried that it may be one of those topics best described without using “nice words”.
