Forget any comments about the election today. I wanted to remind you of how dumb people really are who cast the votes that decide the future of our country.
Case-in-point, Al Franken is leading the polls for election to the United States Senate in the state of Minnesota. Are you serious? We are going to elect a Saturday Night Live writer who had 1 good character in the history of the show to the US Senate?
He has served in ZERO elected offices. His biggest political experience consists of a liberal talk radio show. He has written a couple of books, the topic of which seems to try to justify his candidacy in a humorous way. Perhaps most importantly, he wasn't that funny on SNL!
If we're going to put an SNL alum into Congress, can't it at least be someone funny? I can think of a ton of better alternatives including Phil Hartman, Chris Farley or John Belushi. Yes, I know they're dead, but I still think a dead John Belushi would be a better senator than a live Al Franken! He did become Senator Blutarsky at the end of Animal House!
As for the probable Junior Senator from the great state of Minnesota... Good luck America!

Should we really be surprised? Minne-ha-ha elected Jesse "The Body" Ventura as governor.
Governor 'The Body' did an excellent job! He did great things like....
Well, he at least improved...
But he brought some style points for...
OK, he did nothing and he sucked.
I heard that the guy who just lost to Franken, also lost to The Body. That's a rough record for anyone to deal with.
