We never thought a random update post on 18-year-old Minnesota conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel would be such a big hit on CP Blotter, but apparently people can't get enough of these awesome young ladies. The replaying of their most recent TLC documentary nearly every week doesn't hurt us either.

No need to waste time; here is our pick for best Minnesota Scandal of 2008:

Minneapolis HIlton employees were busted this fall have one crazy evening of orgy in one of the hotel's banquet halls. While many of the reader comments celebrated such a risque evening of fun with coworkers, one witness and one participant weren't so cool with it. The two were eventually let go from the company after they raised complaints about the party. The lesson for 2009: Take a deep breath and have a little fun. It never hurt anyone to have one night you'd rather not tell you family about.

Vikings punter Chris Kluwe is so obsessed with uber-nerd video game World of Warcraft that he might just change his name to the game title. Why not right? It would be so totally hilarious and clever. Or completely insane. 

Rep. Michele Bachmann, our favorite crazy congresswoman, is not only embarrassing us in the United States. Her smarts have led to her making even international lists of shame. 

Bachmann received the No. 5 spot in the British newspaper, the Guardian. Madoff, Palin, Bush, and Blagojevich topped Bachmann on "America's Hall of Shame". In case you have been living under a rock, Bachmann received the honors after she said the media should investigate members of Congress for anti-American views. The Guardian says it was the "single most appalling political statement of the year".

Just because your girlfriend is naked in your room doesn't mean you can film it

MADISON -- A Wisconsin appeals court says people do not automatically have the right to videotape others who are naked in their presence. The 4th District Court of Appeals ruling comes in the case of a former Waunakee High School chemistry teacher who videotaped his girlfriend while she was naked and also while they were having sex. He argued that she agreed to be naked around him, therefore she had no expectation of privacy.

New Year's Day is a great day to do absolutely nothing if you can swing it. So in addition to your horrendous hangover, make sure you aren't screwed in other ways. Here is a kind reminder of what is open and closed New Year's Day.

Check out the statement from U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, incoming-Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), below.

The candidates sorted through the absentee ballots deemed wrongly rejected by local election officials to determine which should be counted in the final tally. The candidates did this based on a Minnesota Supreme Court decision, which gives the campaigns veto power on the ballots. 

Coleman's campaign has decided to veto many of the absentee ballots, which means he looks like a flat-out cherry picker. His choices to reject more ballots in the blue districts could be a coincidence, but Minnesotans aren't giving the candidates much slack anymore.
