Al Franken's lunchbox for sale on EBAY
As part of a larger charity auction for The Food Bank of NYC. I wish I could afford this right now — LOVE the design!

2. Love it! It looks handpainted.
How perfect, too. It says that, even in the best case scenario, Mormons will always be crazy. But I have to say that Mo Udall was a Mormon. Someone once asked him about his golf handicap. He responded, "Handicap? I'm a one-eyed Mormon Democrat from conservative Arizona ... you can't find a higher handicap than that."

9. Mo Udall was great
Have you read "Too Funny to be President" ? It has a lot of his one liners and funny stories.

5. Last I saw,
Utah still had a 69% APPROVAL rating for shrub. I don't think much of Utah either.

6. That's a thing of beauty
In the opening sequence for his Sundance show, Al draws a huge US map by freehand. Very impressive.

I don't recognize half the names of the other celebrities whose lunchboxes are being auction. I'm old. :D
