3. One of my fond memories of Al Franken's Air America Radio show...
was the "talk like a pirate day" show where he managed to talk that way throughout the show... Now, that is not easy. I fear Franken is finding the Senate to be one hell of a lot less conducive to humor... He surely seems a lot more than just "respectful" serious lately--more of the "somewhat demoralized" brand of serious... :shrug:

4. Poor guy
Washington must be a soul-destroying place. He's bright and sensitive and that will make you easily bruised

Stay tuned to the news stations and when a republican comes on, you'll hear plenty o' pirate-talking.
