Chicago Style Vote Counting Moves to Minnesota

This is very strange. For obvious reasons I have not been paying much attention to election results in Minnesota. It is populated by a lot of nice, normal people who can take care of themselves. Even when they vote for the Progressive Farmer Labor Coalition or whatever they call the Democratic Party in Minnesota. But things may have changed.

I was amazed to discover that Al Franken was on the ticket. What happened to Minnesotans' good sense? What happened to their niceness? Isn't it true that anyone moving to Minneapolis has to take a test in basic common sense and niceness in order to be let in? Al Franken is a first class schmuck in the original Yiddish sense, which I thought everybody knew was, not to put too fine a point on the matter, a prick, though come to think of it that is really insulting to all the pricks of the world.

How could the good people of Minnesota even as a joke think about sending this guy to represent them in Washington DC?



These are people with ancestors who built this beautiful cathedral in Saint Paul around the beginning of the last century: they would not have allowed this foul-mouthed anti-Semite and anti-Christian to even beg in the streets of their fair city.

Al Franken, a Jew, is an anti-Semite?

I think there might be too much Fox News in this post.

anti-Catholicism might be more accurate, but still a schmuck.

Thanks Anon: Ironic isn't it? I suppose there may be different rules for biology and politics, what do you think?

Perhaps you're right Matt, but I don't separate the Catholics and the rest for many purposes.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
