Franken to Seek Senate Seat as I Predicted: Are You Listening to Me Yet?
Franken to Seek Senate Seat as I Predicted: Are You Listening to Me Yet?

Snip:

"Al Franken went from a politically vocal comedy writer to a possible Senatorial candidate; all the while he addressed only the topics and issues that were embraced for public scrutiny by the corporate media and he has worked very hard to discredit those who simply wanted to question tangible evidence that contradicts officially approved reality. And all the while his pre-approved reality was carefully groomed and observed by his regular committee of think tank representatives who serve as his regular guests. Do you think there is a connection here?"

2. Read what I wrote
I said shortly after he got his show on AAR. It's about why I said that. It is not obvious...unless you know what I am talking about.

Where's the link to the news story about Franken running for Senate? (Good job getting me to click a link to your(?) blog, though.)

Not that I don't think he will or at least try. It's not exactly the kind of secret that's kept in the locked basement of the NSA. But, without an announcement, your header is misleading.

6. Hells bells, I knew he was going run year before last...
I don't get his station, so I don't hear his show...damn it... but I do listen to his books on tape (so I can multi-task...I'm quite literate, thank you :D) and anyone who hears him can hear the passion and the determination he has to MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

I'm just surprised he's waited so long.
Wish we had someone of his caliber for Montana for 2008...:loveya:

"Wish we had someone of his caliber for Montana for 2008... "

Hehe, why? The Govenor and both Senators are Dems so there is no need for a new candidate. While I don't know enough about Baucus (I guess pretty conservative), I think that at least Tester will do a good job.

9. I shouldn't post at 3AM...I don't make sense.
:silly:
I meant someone of his caliber for the Congresscritter.
We only get one, and the one we have now is a Bushbot. :banghead:

8. He's been talking about it for about three years now...
He moved back to Minnesota and started a PAC. I don't understand how, at this late date, the OP thinks this is something like ... um... news?
