Who read Al Franken's book, "Why Not Me?" about his fantasy of becoming president. Written long before he ran for Senate, it was clever and funny. Unfortunately the man he really wanted for that position, Paul Wellstone, died in a plane accident.

I can't wait for the Dems to take back power in the Senate and Franken to head up a major committee. As it is we'll have to settle for whatever time the Senate rules afford him to speak his mind.
