Why I hate my city council.

Specifically the DSW wing. For fuck's sake, people, GET A GRIP!! 

The Minneapolis City Council devolved into chaos Thursday during a debate over whether it should spend time weighing in on global politics, like the U.S. blockade of Cuba.

We used to laugh about the New York City Council's tendency to weigh in on international issues, but that was back when the city council had almost no power, so renaming streets to try to make a point to foreign governments wasn't getting in the way of real business. It's also easier to poke at a foreign government when the street you're renaming is the block their UN embassy is on: the Soviet ambassador to the UN might not have cared that the street sign outside his office had Andrei Sakharov and Yelena Bonner's names on it, but he definitely knew about it.
