Kiffmeyer takes flak . . . pushes honey butter
The Strib ran a story yesterday letting us know that Secretary of State Kiffmeyer takes flak, pushes on. Now, to some Kiffmeyer is the Katherine Harris of the North while most people just don't really notice exactly what it is that the office of the Secretary of State is for.
The Secretary of State is one of those offices that no one really pays attention to until something goes wrong, so it can be difficult to know if the incumbant is doing a good job or failing miserably. It is also one of those jobs that can have a big impact on how "real" our democracy is and whether *all* people are fully empowered to exercise their right to vote.
So, is she good? Is she Bad? Too Partisan? Not Partisan Enough? What should the SOS be doing to safeguard our democracy? Is she doing it? Is she undermining it? Eeeesh! These are tough questions, my brain hurts. Maybe I better just go to her website and get some recipes for nice homemade Rasberry Jam or Cinnamon Honey Butter . . .
Now that's Minnesotan . . . I feel better already.
