Al Franken is running for the U.S. Senate seat for Minnesota currently occupied by Norm Coleman (who won after Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash). (

Franken is one of my favorites. You may know him as a former writer and comic on Saturday Night Live (Stuart "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggoneit, people like me" Smalley)
author: Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (which got him sued by FOX News and Bill O'Reilley); The Truth (with Jokes); and Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot
and as host of The Al Franken Show on AirAmerica Radio (originally named "The O'Franken Factor"...and it got him sued).
Kudos and good luck to Al Franken (
