Katherine Kersten's Korner

I missed Monday's pointless article, but today Kersten is back, and she is talking about the upcoming elections. Will facts get in her way? Never!

Wingnuttia Level: 5 (Picking and choosing of facts ahead)

Kersten starts with the Minnesota poll, and tells us that voters aren't worried about the environment or health care. No, voters care most about taxes and education. Since the poll backs her up on this, so far, so good.

So what about taxes? According to Kersten, what voters mean is that taxes are too high. Why does she think this? Because she is Katherine Kersten, of course, and she has her finger on the pulse of Minnesota! How dare you question her? If she says that Minnesotans think taxes are too high, then they are too high.

Education? More money? Pshaw. See, what voters are really concerned about is how to get Minneapolis schools to be safer and do better academically magically without spending any more money. Concentrations of poverty and language barriers mean nothing. Once again, Kersten knows what voters are thinking, and she is going to tell us out of the graciousness of her heart. She's all about helping, you know?

According to Kersten, "Candidates who want to win this fall should come down from the clouds." Buy why? Kersten is having lots of fun drifting among them, high above us where she can divine what we are thinking. It's working for her!
