Update to previous post -
here is the video of All Franken anouncing his candidacy.. he gives over a lot of very interesting background..

Al Franken has finally announced his intentions to run for Senate.

After much consideration and thought, he finally made the leap and announced his candidacy.

He was great on Saturday Night Live. He is a hilarious comedian. He is an insightful and inspired person. He has written some great books. He has been running Air America to combat the likes of Rush Limbaugh.

And he's a Jew, so help out a brother.

If you are from Minnesota, consider voting for Al. If I was, I would. We need more colorful politicians anyway.
