A loyal reader sent along the above video, which features a guy named Dutch doing the weather in Minneapolis for a segment he calls “Dude Weather.” In this particular installment, Dutch suggests that it might be a good idea for various presidential candidates to swing by Minneapolis to shovel his drive, because wouldn’t that be a sweet photo-op? “Get a little bit of that Minnesota snow-shoveling vote,” Dutch urges, wagging his slow-burning cig. “That’s big here. Very big.” Why’d a reader send it to us? Hang on ‘till the end, when Dutch extends a special invitation to our very own congressman, Dennis Kucinich (D-Anywhere There’s a Nice B&B For Him and the Missus to Relax). – Joe P. Tone

I don’t know of any B & B in the area, but Dennis and the Missus are welcome to stay at my apartment anytime they visit Minneapolis.
