Al Franken

My dad, born in 1898 in England was a great admiror of Charles Chaplan whose movies we were not permitted to see during the 50ties as she had socialistic ideas!

Dad once said to me that he though commedians were probably amoung the smarted people in society gien their ability to see through human character!

I think that the leaders of all nations should have to be commedians! Just imagine if we could all laugh at each other, and at our selves, it would be far better than bombing and killing one and all!

So am I nuts or what? I just remember reading somewhere that "If you can make a person laugh, well, they can't stay mad at you!" We need more laughs in politics, and oh, another area where we really need some good ones, is in religions! We should be ready and willing to laugh at Jesus, Mohammed, and the "great" books!" Religions can be fun, if people whouldn't take them so seiously! Hey, we are humans! Let's reconize it and make the best of it! And it's obvious that God has a great sense of humor! I mean, he made us didn't he!

Aloha from an old fart retired school teacher of many sbjects, living the tough life in Kailua, Hawaii. Ah, I can here the rooster out there! Here comes our beautiful sun!

Aloha,

Minnesota falls left

There are probably many good people in Minnesota who are now to be pitied to have this buffoon as a Senator. He has long ago sold out to Hollywood and their ilk of big money, extreme liberalism, and the savaging of American values and ideals.

Such a shame a carpebagger won in this state.

Number 11

He is a jackass!

One thing we do know

He's an embarassment to Minnesota, the Senate, the country, and soon, I predict, to the Democrats. Don't take my word for it, go back and listen to his words on Air America these past few years.

Hellooooooo, number sixty

We have been waiting eight long months for you to be seated.

May you be there to confirm one Obama nominee to the Supreme Court, after another, after another, after another

How About 10 Correct Things?

I get a kick out of these supposed factual sites about someone or some thing. Here's two on this Al Franken site that come to mind off the top of my head that are factually incorrect, and I suspect that if I did some research I could come up with several more:

1) Al Franken was born in New Jersey, not New York--even the Wikpedia site has Al born in New York City.

2) Paul Wellstone died in the plane crash in 2002, not 2000, or the compounded tragedy of Norm Coleman's election to the Wellstone Senate seat would have required Coleman to run for re-election in 2006, not last fall.

But here's one undeniable fact: Al Franken will make 10 times the U.S. Senator for the people of Minnesota than the Ultimate Slimeball Norm Coleman, the biggest self-serving phoney in the history of Minnesota politics, who thankfully (there is a God after all) will soon be dispatched by the Minnesota Supreme Court to the political oblivion he so justly deserves.
