    Based on his spouse, I'm going to assume up front he's having an affair.

    Republicans freaking out about the majority need to remember that this is what they used to have. They didn't just crap in that Easter Basket- they floated that Easter Basket out to sea in a river of crap.

    And it's awesome that Senator and Mrs. Franken were able to come here from 1962 and all. (Did they arrive at the pictured event in costume as some kind of Washington joke?)

    Who is the Fox News commentator who has two pretty women in mini-dresses sitting in high chairs in the middle of the podium and says he can't believe "Al Franken is a senator"?


    Are we supposed to assume he'd prefer, say, Megan Fox?

    @bytememehard: I honestly never believed that Al Franken could be the better look part of a couple. I mean, my God, he didn't just suddenly become famous. He was a celebrity. You couldn't work that into landing a trophy wife, Al?


    Okay. No secret here. I'm not a big fan of Senator Franken, but he hasn't actually done anything for me to attack yet so I'm going to pout and criticize the Frankens' appearance. It doesn't make me a good person, but at least I'm admitting what I'm doing here.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: She looks like she's a similar age to Franken, and while dressed a little goofier- you got to admit men have it easy in that department. She not bad looking, just looks like she was caught at an unfortunate moment.

    He must have never tried to use mass transit in Baltimore if he thinks that lite rails are good. Sure, they are more expensive, but subways are much better. Lite rails are a hard sell to the average person who only uses mass transit for cost and speed since they take longer to get where you are trying to go than driving. Making the train have to obey speed limits and fight traffic is a bad idea. I would like me some bullet trains, though. The size of our country would really make having one beneficial, much more so than a smaller country like Japan.

    A friend of mine took an Environmental Science class in the early 80s and the professor warned of the melting of the polar ice caps and said our dependence on foreign oil was insane for a number of reasons.


    The professor was fired.


    People don't want to hear shit until it's too fucking late.


    That's the problem with people.

    That's the problem.

    Oh, Michael Moore - we loved you because you were a nobody who demanded answers from the bigshots. Now that you're rich and famous, your formula doesn't work. Rather than financing and helping new documentary filmmakers to carry the torch, you just became a parody of your former self.


    If you couldn't foresee how your own success would be your downfall, there's no way that you were predicting GM's misery.
