Actually didn't Michelle say "You will be required to work"  ?  It just sounded a little more sinister, a little more gulag-ish.  
I can't figure Minnesota out.  I've enjoyed several visits there on business.  On the one hand you have God-fearing decent hard-working people, the salt of the earth, the nicest people I have ever met.  On the other hand you have a bunch of moonbats.  And, they elect the wackiest people.  What gives?
