A sample of the wit & wisdom of Chairman Al:
In many ways I'm still a Hubert Humphrey Democrat -- someone who believes in afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted. A society is judged by how it treats the elderly, the sick, the impoverished. To me it's a matter of ethics and compassion.

By the way, my word verification for this post is "ballyse". Not coincidental, I think.

kay: he has to have a sense of humor. michelle bachmann is also from MN, and she wants people to boycott the US census so Obama can't use the numbers to round us up into prison camps. glory be...
After eight months of the Republican party funding Norm Coleman's legal fees to prevent Franken from the Senate, it's a big relief to have a certified liberal in the Senate.
I'll bet he will stir things up once he's confirmed.
it was such a desecration to have Coleman in PAUL WELLSTONE'S seat. buon riddanza to him and a big welcome to Al.
