[def.] Fucktard

The only person I've ever heard use this word before is Kevin ... So, this is for you, bro'

Last week, the state [that would be us, Minnesota] House's Ways and Means Committee, by a 13-4 vote, passed a bill that would allow chronically ill patients to use marijuana. It now moves to the House floor, leaving some wondering: Will it weather the fucktard vote?

Minnesota's fucktard demographic—though less vocal than in other states—remains a critical voting bloc. Comprised chiefly of law-and-order types, anti-science yokels, and perpetually nervous Caucasians, Minnesota's fucktard coalition has lobbied hard against the bill. An alliance of law enforcement associations has sent emails to legislators informing them that, as one fucktard put it, "our political action committees will be taking this into account when we deliver our endorsements."

Having already passed the Senate last session thanks to bipartisan support, the bill would go directly to Gov. Tim Pawlenty's desk upon passage in the House. Since the Republican VP slot requires vigilant fucktard-pandering on a national scale, Pawlenty has indicated he will veto the legislation. —Matt Snyders


Mostly I laughed because I kept hearing this in Kevin's voice - especially since I figure he'd probably agree [with the author, not the fucktard sitting over in St. Paul]

Oh, my god. You mean I might be able to legally use marijuana because I have not one but two chronic illnesses? Has no one thought about California's experience with this sort of thing? The Feds periodically make life really unpleasant for people using the weed for medical purposes. Not sure I'd want the Feds taking such an interest in that way in Minnesota.

As for "fucktard," I already can think of a character in novel #4 who'd use this word.... Thanks!
