Al Franken was giving his acceptance speech on television this afternoon.

Blondie thought that Frannie Franken was cute, and her name was even cuter; to me, she looked like Edith "Dingbat" Bunker, only younger. I kept expect him to tell her to "Stifle!"

Ending The Speech

And then he was giving his speech. Blondie hit the pause button on the TiVO and said, "How much would you give to have him end this speech with I won this election because I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!"

I told her a lot, except that I'm fairly broke, this being the end of the month.

Norm For President?

Norm Coleman (or is that Goldman? Obligatory "Bird Cage" joke, if you need an explanation) acquitted himself fairly well during this recount, and became very familiar to the Republicans across this country. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of him setting up an exploratory committee soon, in preparation for a run in 2012 for the White House.

The sad thing is, this Senate race ended in a dead tie, and the Democrats were running a clown. He lost before, for governor, to another clown. And I'm not speaking in euphemisms, as both Al Franken and Jesse Ventura were formerly engaged in farce as an occupation. Well, I have to admit, farce isn't that far removed from politics, but what would have happened if Coleman had run against a serious candidate, someone like John Glenn, or Bob Casey, or Dick Lugar?
