In the last few days, two notably blue parts of the United States have done some things that will earn kudos even from a red American like myself.

Meanwhile, in a story coming via Hot Air and from America's northern plains, the state legislature of Minnesota, in what what Governor Mark Dayton (DFL) called his "unsession", got rid of "1,175 obsolete, unnecessary and incomprehensible laws" and "made taxes simpler, cut bureaucratic red tape, speeded up business permits and required state agencies to communicate in plain language."  Read the full story at TwinCities(dot)com.
