Back in November, the people of Minnesota voted for US Senator. Four months later, after much weeping and gnashing of teeth, Al Franken was certified as beating incumbant Norm Coleman by 312 votes. In order to delay the seating of a filibuster-busting 60th Democratic senator, Coleman appealed to the Minnesota Supreme Court. That bought him until yesterday, when the court ruled unanimously that Franken is indeed the new junior senator from Minnesota.

Will Obama finally instate socialism and Sharia law now that the Republican senators can be hushed like so many wailing infants?

Will he pass a tissue to Newt Gingrich and ask him if he wants to cry about it?

Only time will tell.

As I loquaciously pointed out here, Bernie Madoff’s crimes are such that federal guidelines recommend his sentence be 150 years. That’s exactly what he got yesterday. These are not the times to be Madoff’s kind of criminal.
