Al Franken new Sen for MN

We've now got Al Franken for MN's US Senate - adios Coleman!

I must admit, I figured we'd be voting for that in Nov. so I didn't get a chance to vote. I only saw attack ads, nothing mentioning when to actually vote. I only found out when a guy at work walked in with an "I Voted" sticker on his jacket. I always change mine to say "I Farted"... now I'll have to wait til Nov. for my sticker! ;)

I won't be happy though until I see Al on the senate floor with his "one man mobile uplink unit" from the news segment on SNL. :-D
I suppose some of you weren't even alive yet to know the costume getup I'm talking about...

God help MN!!! PLEASE!!! Especially now that I plan to move there!

He has to be one of the most crooked people to put into office there. Dang.
 
ha ha ha! Burned again eh? :-O
Don't worry MN swings from republicans trying to find a way to make being homeless illegal to... well Jesse Ventura (!) and then back to the gun & oil lobby and then to... well Al Franken(!) It goes in cycles.



"The Floor recognizes Senator Franken and the giant satellite dish on his head." :)

I support anything that "makes a mockery" of american politics because it deserves to be mocked. One of the greatest pieces of video I ever saw from (I believe) the Poll Tax riots was a group of punks broke out in the House of Commons and pie-faced the National Socialists. I still have dreams of that happening in our own "house of lords" here in the US. Of course, a cream pie might be considered a weapon of mass destruction and then you'd be off to Gitmo Leadership Academy.
 
Did he really win? I am still hearing that he is falling behind in the polls.
 
I was misinformed about the election date, my co-worker must've been voting in an election for the run-off. I'm not saying Franken is my god or anything, I just think it's funny a guy who wore a costume like above could be on the floor of senate. And like I said, I just wanna see him there - wearing that costume! :jester:
