Lileks in the Star-Tribune:
Man: Did you hear that Congresswoman Flinders voted in favor of giant space asteroids hitting Minnesota?
Woman: No! She's in favor of asteroids?
Man: Yes. The Star Tribune said she opposed a bill that would have built a giant catcher's mitt between the Earth and the moon. If a six-mile-wide asteroid hit Minnesota, the dust cloud would choke off all sunlight.
Woman: Imagine if it hit a school!
Voiceover: Call Congresswoman Flinders. Ask her why she wants to end all life on Earth.
