The Frankenstein Monster Goes To Washington




Franken Wins Senate Battle
Minn. Court Ruling Gives Democrats A 60-Seat Majority


Yesterday the Minnesota Supreme Court settled the race for US Senate between Al Franken and Norm Coleman. After which Coleman conceded and issued a statement saying that he would not seek further legal action to attempt and preserve his senate seat.

There are three things that are interesting to me about this story. First that there are that many stupid people in Minnesota. Prior to some recent elections? I use to believe that those living in Massachusetts were the stupidest Americans. How else to explain Teddy Kennedy's forty plus year run in the senate and his sidekick John Kerry? But I digress.

I believe that those in Minnesota lost the plot back when they elected Jesse (the body) Ventura to the governor's office and they haven't found it since. Therefore, the first bit of amazement in this entire affair that baffles me? Is that that many people in Minnesota would vote this idiot into office in the first place. But then again? Minnesota is establishing a track record for idiocy at the ballot box.

The second thing that I find amazing is that it took eight months to resolve this election, but most importantly, the real amazing part of this entire drama is that the courts of Minnesota combined to disallow the votes of enough Minnesotans to reach this apparently desired and contrived result.

Welcome to the modern day version of the Frankenstein monster. Al Franken has as much business being a US senator as I have flying the space shuttle, but a senator he is. And the villagers who should have been riding him out of town on a rail with a torch parade, have now elected him to the US senate and their courts have given him their collective blessing.

Stranger than fiction possibly, but the end result is that now, the political power has been completely given over to a ruling elite of democrats in America and at the worst possible moment in time IMO.

Al Franken is a first class secular anarchist IMO. He will do the people of Minnesota proud. A fool representing fools for the next six years.
