Here in the land of one senator


I had the pleasure today of interviewing Minnesota Supreme Court justice, and football hall-of-famer Alan Page for a project I'm working on.

Outside of the formal interview we spoke about national politics, particularly the job the new president is doing. Page said he was glad we now had a president who was proud of his intellectual achievements, and not, like our last president, gloating about his anti-intellectualis.

Page may very well be on the panel who will hear Norm Coleman's plea to retain his role as Minnesota's Senator, against a tide of evidence and opinion, and so he couldn't and wouldn't offer an opinion on what has become a great embarassment to the voters of Minnesota.

Woebegone Creepy Joe™


Connecticut's beloved Creepy Joe™ Lieberman is sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, again.

This time defending Republican Senate Candidate Norm Coleman, whose lead in the Minnesota race against Al Franken, has evaporated. Maybe CJ™ can do for Coleman what he's done for John McCain.

Political comedy in Minnesota

I'm in the land of Garrison Keillor and Al Franken (where Franken is now leading in the Senatorial race), and the political theater is getting heated up as Norm Coleman, the incumbent, is being charged with ethics violations.

No, this is not a Saturday Night Live skit.
