Drop the O' from O'Franken Factor?

[derby378]

Okay, now that we've all heard Al Franken's new radio show, should he keep the name as it is (The O'Franken Factor) or drop the O' bit and keep the show real?

untiL biLLy's head expLodes.

4. down the road it may be tired, but for "right" now it's funny

When we post about the radio shows can we automatically provide a link. We have new people popping in to DU and we want them to get to these radio shows as easily as possible.

9. DUH - sorry

listening to the radio, and going between this board and the Weight Watchers message board.

3. Other

Change it to "The Al'Franken Factor". It still sounds the same (al, o), and you get to keep the '

10. Too much like al Quaeda,

too easy for the wingnuts to viciously lampoon (assuming they have the wit).

[Rev. Day-Bu]

13. How about...

How about "The Alsama bin Franken Factor"?

Oh, wait... that's a very bad idea. Almost as bad as my idea for having Al host a show with Gloria Steinem and calling it "The Franken-Steinem Show."


Okay, I apologize for that. That was a mistake.

[DemNoir]

15. Great Idea

It think the "AlFranken Factor"is much better.

[Fridays Child]

5. It could be "The 'Oh, Franken!' Factor."

But Al Franken isn't the first to use an Irish-German hybrid name. There was a 20th century artist named Boris O'Klein.



Anyway, I like the parody of O'Reilly's name.

11. "Boris O'Klein"

And a mit-20th Cent. Republican Representative from WI named Alvin O'Konski.

6. Keep the O

It keeps the truth in front of the public. The truth is that Bill O' Reilly is a bigot and a nutcase.

Al Franken is telling everyone that he is the alternative to the lies that O'Reilly is telling.

8. Anything that annoys O'Leilly must be allowed to continue.

12. Franken is great

I like how he refers to the "other" show as just the "Reilly Factor". I would love to see Bill's little hissy fit over this.

Keep it up Al!!!

14. Waiting for Reilly and Faux's next lawsuit

against Franken

"We are asserting that Al Franken stole the 'O' from our employee's name..."

I heard Al Franken speak in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago, and he was hilarious going on about how O'Reilly wound up being tortured over the whole book gig and Fox got laughed out of court over their suit.

17. Welcome to DU!

It's a great place to hang out.

[cheesloaf]

21. Thanks

I feel quite at home here and want to comment on everything. Great people it seems.

[underpants]

16. I say "Franken Serious" or "The Franken Truth"

The first one is a nice little play on words and both sound like "Friggin'"

[proud patriot]

18. I loved the show

and am still laughing at Ann in the green room ..

[stewert]

20. I Love The O !

Leave the O alone, I laugh every time I hear Al say "welcome back to the O'Franken Factor".

The O must stay..........

[JNelson6563]

19. Oh Franken! Factor

:-)

[Thew]

22. Maybe he could go with it as a theme...

next month "Franken-itty and Colmes" (doesn't matter if Colmes is there or not), after that "Frankenbaugh" etc...
