Congratulations Minnesota!
June 30, 2009Minnesota, the gateway to Manitoba, has a new Senator!
And the Democrats have a super majority in the Senate.
Democrat Al Franken, a satirist turned politician, was declared the winner of a Senate seat in Minnesota on Tuesday, clearing the way for President Barack Obama’s party to secure a critical 60-seat majority in the Senate.
Ending one of the longest Senate races ever, the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously rejected each of Republican Norm Coleman’s five legal arguments that an earlier recount of the November 4 vote had been unfair. Coleman quickly conceded.
Franken will become the 58th Senate Democrat, the most the party has had since 1981. Two independents routinely vote with the Democrats, giving the party the 60 votes needed to clear Republican procedural hurdles known as filibusters.
Franken joins former governor Jesse Ventura in the Minnesota Political Hall of Fame.
Now you know why the state bird of Minnesota is the common loon.

As much as I want to mock and deride Minnesotans, living in California, I can’t. So for the moment let me take the other tact and state that in terms of mind-boggling, idiotic, left-wing moonbattery; Minnesotans are rank amateurs compared to Californians.
Woo-hoo, California is still #1 is left-wing moonbattery and illegals!!!
At this point as a citizen living in a bankrupt city in a bankrupt state in a bankrupt nation, I’ve made peace with God and embraced the upcoming apocalypse.

Ugh. This jackass fits right in with the rest of the moonbat clowns in the senate.
Can’t we just get N. Korea to point that nuke (you know, the one we can’t stop cause we cut the budget) at DC instead of Hawaii?

I”m beginning to think it may be the water in the great lakes. Look at my home state, Michigan. Red Karl Levin and Debbie, Can’t Keep Her Husband Home, Stabenow. These two are as big a pair of ass clowns as any two put up by Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana,Ohio and New York. They’re desperately seeking cover from Cap and Tax because of the economy their gov, Jennifer, Tax Em, Granholm, has given us, and I’m sure Collins and Snowe will give it to them.
