The Incoherent Iconoclast RSS

This blog will be an amalgamation of cinema, politics, arsenal, hunting, all things Minnesota, and other interesting observations.

I'll post nightly clips from the picture I will watch that evening...plus, I'll post clips from pictures that I think are important and/or interesting.

Be warned of long-winded ranting and raving...All news will be from the last fortified compound on the Mississippi river in downtown Minneapolis.

                         (angrily)
                         Well, I'm right here to tell you, 
                         mister, ain't *nobody* going to push 
                         me off *my* land! Grampa took up 
                         this land seventy years ago. My pa 
                         was born here. We was *all* born on 
                         it, and some of us got killed on it, 
                         and some died on it. And that's what 
                         makes it ourn--bein' born on it, and 
                         workin' it, and dyin' on it--and not 
                         no piece of paper with writin' on 
                         it! So just come on and try to push 
                         me off!
