No MyFastPass is not MNDoT’s solution for the 35W corridor. Think different kind of movement. Star Tribune’s David Chanen broke the news last night that a prostitution ring called MyFastPass.com was shut down. It’s refreshing to witness NSFW news now and then. I’m sure journalists had a fun time trying to Google sources because sifting through search results from MILF and pr0n websites is awful awful awful!

Though the federal agents have seized and disabled the web servers, Google has preserved one tidbit for the curious, that is the supposed unofficial spokeswoman for MyFastPass – Giamarie Lynn’s blog. Shame on you Woodbury! The downfall of prominent Twin Cit(ies) businessmen seems cruel and unusual but certainly their wives deserve to know. According to Chanen, federal prosecutors are letting anyone who thinks they might be, oh, screwed (no pun intended) to turn themselves in for immunity. Fortunately Minnesotans aren’t into public lashings anymore.

- In more tasteful news, the Minnesota GOP is probably going extreme right-wing according to Doug Grow over at Minnpost.

- Everyone should have noticed by now that Katherine Kersten is back at the Strib and so is liberal counterpart Nick Coleman. A little botox, makeup, hair styling and the girl is good to go! (see photo) But nothing is really noteworthy until Kersten attacks atheism and Andy Birkey goes oh snap!

- Favorite comment:

“The Atheist say’s we need stop signs at intersections to stop, Kersten say’s people know to stop at an intersection and we only have to believe in the stop sign. So if Jezuzz is behind the wheel, how long will it take both to reach their destinations?” – Lazercat
