The only bright side to the recent Minnesota Senate debacle is that if you're tired of hearing about how good our schools are and how smart our kids are, you can answer with three words:
"Senator Al Franken."
Yes, there is a difference between scoring well on the SAT or ACT and being educated, and the fact that a guy whose major career accomplishment is book length personal attacks got more than 5% of the vote illustrates this very clearly.
Another way to respond:
"Governor Ventura."
Yet another way to respond: point out that the mainstream media haven't clued in to the fact that there is something wrong when precincts report more votes than ballots cast. There is a massive, massive difference between being able to do the arithmetic and algebra on the SAT, and being educated to the point where you should be allowed to vote.

You have my sympathy. It hurts to be a resident of a state that makes a large-scale negative contribution to the country as a whole, and know you weren't responsible for it, but can't do anything about it.
It's not quite as bad as this, but I come from the place that kicked out Rick Santorum in favor of Bob "I got my Dad's name and his eyebrows and I convinced people that those things make me his equal" Casey. Ugh.
But now you know how all those good, honest New Yorkers and New Jerseyites and Illionoisians who didn't participate in the Hillary, Torricelli, and Burris debacles feel.
It's so weird. Now we are entering an era when the people are asking for their Sauls and getting them. I just don't know where this leads, or what we, as those who weren't asking for these horrendous leaders are supposed to think or do now.
It's definitely a time to be sober, and to walk with integrity before God.
Man, would you even want to win now if you were Norm Coleman? So many people would hate you. Why does Franken feel satisfied to win under these circumstances?
