Considering he has written comedy about politics for decades, I think he has a very good idea of how the crazy world of politics works. You can't write about something if you don't know your topic.

Hopefully we can remove half of them. People are charged up and not taking politicans crap anymore. Representatives in Washington need to do their job or resign. In case the politicans forgot, their job is to represent their constitutients. That's why their own personal beliefs and opinions are irrelevant. I've personally written my representative and asked him basically, "Who gives an eff what your think? What do your constitutients want?"

Regardless of how this turns out, gone are the Lake Woebegone days of warm intellect in chilly climes. N. Silver's statistics and legal recourses about the disputed ballots lend hope to Franken, but the guy's SNL roles never made me laugh much, and without any discernable gravitas, what else would Franken bring to the Senate floor?
