- Exhibit A as to why calls for an Israeli-Hamas "ceasefire" are utterly irresponsible.

From here forward, my recommendation would be to go all Jules Winnfield (WARNING: STRONG LANGAUAGE in linked video) on any American elected official who continues to make such a suggestion.
- A lot of what the Minnesota Democrat majority passed into law in this year's legislative session was either legally dubious or woefully underestimated from a cost standpoint.
The state's new Paid Family Medical Leave (PMFL) program appears to fit in the latter category.
Surprise! Minnesota #PFML program will cost at least $600 million more than expected in first 3 years and payroll tax will be up to 31% higher. That's probably low end and assumes the state completes the IT build out on budget - not betting on it. https://t.co/nAsGXWuNae #mnleg

Why it's almost as if shuffling proposed legislation through committees along party lines and shutting down debate on the House and Senate floors to hastily vote proposals into law in an effort to win a back-patting headline is not the most prudent approach to governance. Who woulda guessed?!?!?!
- After starting the NFL season 0-3 and 1-4, my Minnesota Vikings looked to be on a significant upswing when they were about to even their record at 4-4 this past Sunday. And this was all being done without their all-world WR Justin Jefferson, who they were slated to have return within the next 2-3 weeks. So of course the one thing the team has been able to rely upon consistently the past 5+ years (i.e. QB Kirk Cousins making every start) has disappeared for the final half of this season.

Given Cousins is a free agent after this season, it is quite possible we have seen him in a Vikings uniform for the last time. And while I was quite critical of his play his first four seasons, I started to come around last year to the notion that he could indeed take this club on a deep playoff run. And with a more formidable offensive line and competent defense this season, my belief was fortified as last Sunday's game entered the fourth quarter. But when I saw a replay of Cousins' injury, I knew immediately it was a torn achilles. Sadly, that was confirmed the next day.
So am I going to indulge in the obligatory "woe is us" that so many of my fellow Vikings fans have conveyed these past few days? Nah. Truth be told, I'm more numb to this stuff than anything else. I guess nearly 50 years of following this franchise will do that to a guy.
