Surprise! Franken Wins Minnesota Senate Seat

The flesh wound turned out to be fatal.

The Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state’s long-running Senate race.

“The Supreme Court has made its decision and I will abide by the results,” Coleman told reporters outside his St. Paul home.

Not much more one could say on this epic 8 month battle that has not been said.  Republicans did their darnedest to get Coleman elected and prevent a filibuster-proof Senate.  It was not to be.  Rumors have it that Coleman will be the new RNC chairman once Steele is finally booted from the post.

If you did not catch a post I wrote up on the Franken/Coleman farce, here it is.

Finding a Home For Bernie Madoff

There appears to be a problem as to where to place convicted swindler, Bernie Madoff.

Sentenced to 150 years, Madoff will probably be sent to a medium- or high-security prison, probably in the northeastern U.S, according to lawyers and prison consultants. Even worse for Madoff, fellow inmates serving life sentences may want “to make a name for themselves” by harming the ex-money manager, a former inmate said. The Federal Bureau of Prisons, which will decide where he’s jailed, may isolate Madoff to protect him from other prisoners.

One word.  Gitmo.  Should work as long as Obama and his successors keep it open for the next 150 years.

Whew!  It’s been one hell of a week.  Funeral, wedding, packing boxes for a major move to Florida, intermittent internet and a hundred other issues…it’s been rough.  Not being able to write for the last few days has only added to the stress level, but I’m back in normal mode…well, semi-normal mode until my move is complete.

Good to be back!  Now, what’s been happening out there for the last 3 days?

Are They Still Listening To Joe?

It might be the pissy mood I’m in today (my upcoming move is testing my patience) but my tolerance level for ignorance is at a low. Came across this quote from Joe the Plumber and it really ticked me off.

“I’m here for one reason and one reason only: It’s ‘I love America,’” Wurzelbacher told the crowd. “Mainstream media wants to paint us as a bunch of extremists, right? We’re in search of liberty and our freedoms. What’s so extreme about that?” [...]

“Let me give you another extremist view, ‘In God We Trust,’” he said to wild applause. “Say that too loud in some parts of America and you will be shot. It’s terrible.” “‘In God We Trust’ … too loud in some parts of America and you will be shot.”

Tell us Joe, you stupid little weasel,  in what part of America will you be shot for saying “In God We Trust”?   What is this nonsense where liberty and freedoms are exclusively conservative values?  And the “mainstream media” is not painting conservatives as a whole as extremists.  It is (are you listening Joe?) painting EXTREMISTS as extremists.

Seriously, the Joes and Bachmanns and Limbaughs are a tiresome bunch who are damaging the conservative and Republican causes more than their little minds can ever understand.
