Al Franken has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate (Minnesota).
See him on You Tube here:

The guy is not just a smart-aleck. He's smart.
The comments are fun to read, too. The opposition is mostly ludicrous--everything from he's a commie to why do actors and comedians think they can be politicians. The commie objection is very retro and based on a distortion of Franken's positions. The actor/comedian objection is espoused by those who undoubtedly supported Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
Still, I'm having a tough time imagining his routines on the Senate floor. My favorite--the I'm okay, I'm not junk routine. However, a little humor might be just what we all need.
It will be a lively election in Minnesota.
