Top 11 New Initiatives for the "Brokeback Mayors"

According to the Star Tribune, city hall insiders have begun calling RT Rybak and Chris Coleman the "Brokeback Mayors" due to their unusually close relationship. This could herald an era of unprecedented cooperation between Minneapolis and St. Paul. If so, we predict the following new initiatives to be undertaken soon:

11) A YMCA built on the border, straddling each city

10) Mayors "push" to "connect" Twin Cities through "central corridor"

9) Coleman approves of tax payer funded baseball stadium in downtown Minneapolis

8) Rybak approves of tax payer funded bathhouse in downtown St. Paul

7) Coleman will wear Rybak's mismatched sock

6) Rybak will have all further knee surgeries caused by diving off gay pride float performed at hospitals in St. Paul

5) Both agree to treat their constituents like gay sheep herders treat their flock

4) New uniform requirement for police in each city: leather chaps

3) Joint bid to try to win rights to host 2009 Gay World Rodeo

2) Coleman's sister-in-law will teach Rybak's sister-in-law how to get two weeks worth of columns out of the fact her kids are sick

1) Jointly decree Minneapolis and St. Paul as sister cities to Sodom and Gomorrah
