I'm Goof Enough, I'm Smart Enough, And Just Enough People Like Me

Well it took long enough. It's hard to believe over half a year has passed since I cast my vote for Al Franken. And now, he's finally Senator Franken. I love that Minnesota has voted a pro wrestler and a comedian into office. Why are we so crazy? Well, we aren't really all that crazy. We just realize that career politicians can't seem to do anything but argue, waste time, take money from lobbyists and have affairs. So why not give someone else a try. At the very least we'll be far more entertained.

What I thoroughly enjoy is that each times these men were elected they BOTH defeated Norm Coleman... a man who couldn't be more disingenuous, Yes, given the choice we'll generally take an entertainer with a brain and a desire to serve than a faker with an agenda and a desire to sound important but say nothing. Congrats Al. Now go do something useful.
