Gumption County Classic: Mental Breakdowns, Sacred Land, and Silence from the Board

Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai announces her job is just too difficult, so she’s taking a full month-long leave to treat her mental health struggles. Because nothing says “public service” like deciding the council gig is overwhelming and stepping away for a rigorous outpatient program while the taxpayers keep the lights on.Then there’s St. Paul School Board Clerk Chauntyll Allen, whose classy comments suggesting dog walkers should let their pups desecrate “white Christian cemeteries” and “piss on the white corpses” instead of using sacred indigenous land have drawn exactly zero response so far from the school board. Still crickets. Common sense is apparently on vacation.Johnny Heidt rolls in with the guitar news, as always, while the crew sifts through the rest of the day’s nonsense with the usual blend of gumption, cigars, and zero tolerance for nonsense.Common sense prevails in Gumption County.
