I’m Jealous
So, I wish I lived in Minnesota right now, because I just found out the coolest thing ever.
Are you ready for this?
Al Franken is runing for the US Senate in Minnesota! How crazy is that?
You should check it out.

really, DONT be jealous. i dont like it when non-polititians run for office, and i hate it when they win, making minnesota look like a bunch of fools (jesse “the body” ventura, anyone?) hopefully, if al franken wins, it will turn out better.

Franken, in all fairness has had his fingers on the proverbial pulse of the political community in america for a long time. Unlike “The Body” I feel he would be a responsible choice for an elected official. Plus, his speeches are likely to tickle the funnybone and the noodle. Also, Stuart Smalley is an abomination. Franken is a dude amongst dudes. (HE DID THE VOICE OF THE MAYOR (McCheese) in Clerks the Animated Series! Don’t belive me?! LOOK IT UP!

I dunno about Franken running. I mean he pretty much said he was going to do this summer of last year. I don’t really think it’s that much different for him to run than a doctor or another high profile profession that has nothing to do with politics, although I am sure any doctor would argue with me on that one. Still, it just really doesn’t feel right. I mean if it was representative, then whatever there are like 500 of them, but senate is a pretty big deal. Plus I feel like a lot of what Franken does relies on the fact that he is not part of the machine/bureaucracy of American politics. No doubt he is smart, but that doesn’t mean he’ll even be a good representative. Finally, he is a pretty polarizing figure and the people like Rush and all the other right wing pundits will go crazy about his secular baby killing Hollywood ways.

Plus why do you guys hate franken anyways? I will give you that I never really liked him as a comedian. Although he does own the 1980s.
