Judge Judy is Humiliating Minnesota… Dunderhead Population at Risk.
Can government help sway the Tide?
Your Gopher
State Politics Institute received a plea for assistance in halting the
increasing use of Minnesota subjects on the Judge Judy small claims court,
national TV show watched by millions.
This is a
little bit of an unusual request, but we need to be open-minded and flexible to
see if there is a proper role for government in this issue. At first blush, we
could start by asking the Attorney General to write a cease and desist letter
to Judy.
However, we
first ought to examine and analyze this situation carefully. Judge Judy has a recruiter here who seeks out
misfortunate pairs to be on the show. To be fair, we can take out the
calculator and divide the 250 shows by 50 states and say that a reasonable
quota is five pairs per year. Not the three or four a week that is currently aired
on TV.
“Fargo” set
the tone for using Minn-ah-soh-tah to push us off our above average ledge and
Judge Judy refined it to new heights in securing Minnesota Dunderheads at an
alarming and depleting pace.
So, if we
think this through thoroughly, the problem really belongs in the lap of the
Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The
recruiter is really a hunter seeking prey, the Minnesota Dunderheads in pairs. At that
rate the show is using them up, they could become an endangered species. Hence, the need for Minnesota to legislate and
regulate.
The
recruiter / hunter should be licensed at a considerable fee, limit set at two
pair per calendar quarter, a five-figure per day removal fee established
for each dunderhead pair taken out of the state and a DNR enforcement charge
levied.
Presto!
That is a creative use of political power to save the endangered species
Minnesota Dunderhead from being over-harvested let alone protect Minnesota’s
reputation as a State where all children and-by extension-adults are above
average.
Problem
solved. Take that, Judge Judy.
