RNCC DOES MALL OF AMERICA.

With delegates and journalists wondering whether Hurricane Gustav will delay the proceedings here in the Twin Cities, we're all doing what any sane person would when bored in Minnesota -- going to the Mall of America, which is filled with all kinds of GOP-themed stuff.

Here is probably the only Republican who can accurately be called cuddly.

Here I am in Nickelodeon Universe, an entire theme park within the mall, complete with two roller coasters and dozens of other full-size rides. Those are too scary for me, though.

If the Twin Cities are Minneapolis and St. Paul, what does that make the neighboring city of Bloomington, where the Mall of America is located?

Some kind of half-formed Kuato jutting from Minneapolis's belly???

Oh no, you did the touristy thing. All Minnesotans shake their heads.

According to Sarah Palin, who believes in Creationism, that dinosaur may have roamed the Earth simultaneously with Adam & Eve. How about we vote for people who believe in science this time around?
