#06 Top DUmmie of 2016 (MineralMan)

Congratulations to Minnesota Moses, the MineralMan primitive, for reaching his highest height ever, #06 Top DUmmie of 2016!

Minnesota Moses, who was born and raised out in California but who currently lives up in Minnesota, is circa 70 years old, give or take a year either way, married, no children of whom he’s ever admitted.

In fact, he’s been married more than once; almost as many times as the late Tommy Manville, and even one time more than the late Wallis Warfield Spencer Simpson Windsor.

Besides his hobbyist interest in rocks, Minnesota Moses runs a web-design business.

Minnesota Moses plays the role of eminence grise on Skins’s island, like the ancient guru loftily sitting atop a Himalyan peak dispensing insight and wisdom to all who come to him seeking it.

As with so many other primitives, Minnesota Moses missed his true calling, that of writing human-interest stories.  I realize people’s tastes are different, individualistic, but franksolich for one thinks he's pretty good at such stories, and wishes he’d produce more.

But no, the old fool pigheadedly persists in writing silly political commentary instead.

It's not cited here as it's from a few years back, but anyway, his description of his ancient 90-something father sitting silhouetted in the moonlight on the front porch of their house in California, long-barreled rifle astride his lap waiting to surprise night-time poachers in his avocado orchard, was tip-top top-notch quality writing.

I voted for him just because of his ridiculous pre-election predictions, and how he got it all so wrong.  His prognostications about republican women, in particular, were laugh-out-loud funny.  The "yes dear" scenarios were both insulting and hilarious.  That was my only reason for the vote in the top 10.  Otherwise, not entertaining.  But those predictions sure were.

That's why, if he wishes to be liked, to be popular, he needs to stick with human interest stories and discard politics altogether.  There's no shame in not writing politics.

There is to DUmmies.  It is like saying "there is no shame to not breathing."

Politics is ALL they have b/c they don't  have useful or worthwhile lives.  With politics they can self-aggrandize and pretend they matter.

I used to find MM dull and uninspiring as well, but his election predictions were hilarious.

I also used to wonder how in the world MM ended up in Minnesota, but the wife is from the area and I bet she dragged him over there - they actually met in San Luis Obispo, CA and worked together back in the day:
