Wait. North Dakota has a state representative named Mary Fargo?!?

Microwaveable Orville Reddenbacher is pretty delicious.

All those detectors are located AWAY from cooking appliances for a reason. So Ms. Fargo brings in a portable cooking appliances and dollars to donuts parks it within 10ft of a detector.

The results were entirely predictable.

Contact Facilities Management for approval BEFORE making changes.

No more popcorn, eh ? Do what they do in D.C.: Have sex with your staffers. That’ll cheer them right up.

Yup, and she appears to be an idiot.

Mary Johnson FROM Fargo. An interesting little tidbit about the North Dakota capitol building is that it was built as a functional office building during the 1930s for a bargain price.

It is one of the plainest looking capital buildings in America. North Dakotans like it that way. The legislature is limited to a 90 day session every two years by law unless the governor calls a special session for an emergency.

When I lived there, the governor still answered his own phone. At one time or another, I met every governor during the 22 years I lived in the state. It is that easy . . . or at east it was.

"North Dakota has a state representative named Mary Fargo?!?"

"Are you implying there's been some malfeasance?"

“Office of Management and Policy that bans popcorn machines and other cooking devices from being used outside of the Capitol Cafe.”

Any bets as to how many microwave ovens or coffee makers are tucked away in offices? The popcorn machine definitely blows the lid off the policy, for sure.
