and he picks the wrong one Democrats' health care bill raises taxes right away, but the vast majority of its benefits do not kick in until 2014. When Sen. John Thune, R-S.D, pointed this out today, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., flatly contended that this is not the case, going so far as to assert, " We're not entitled to our own facts ." But Thune is correct, and Franken is wrong. The ...

What many people don't realize is that Al Franken was a math major at Harvard, so when the ignorant Tea-bagger from South Dakota put up a chart during a Senate debate on health care that was at odds with the facts, Franken tore him a new one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqmqYWrGYOY intercst

On the Senate floor Sen. Thune (Idiot-SD) tries to back up repug talking points and get a spanking from Franken, but not literally. I truly believe Franken has the same vision as Wellstone. Now if the people of Connecticut had a second Senator that wasen't braindead, we'd be in great shape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n2P0QsTe8c

I'm glad someone is pointedly countering the Republican spins and hallucinations. If only Senators were as willing to be convinced as the tea-baggers Franken spoke to this past summer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w_p-xMOp7U Fredericch

When Al Franken was elected, we heard an awful lot of people on the right blathering around about him being a comedian. He was going to be a terrible senator. etc etc etc. Take a look at this video - here he is busting Senator Thune's cajones on the senate floor. Nobody's laughing anymore. Al Franken has transitioned beautifully from Comedian to Lawmaker - and he's open for business....

Franken: Republicans ‘haven’t read the bill and are not very familiar with it.’ This afternoon, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) openly challenged Sen. John Thune (R-SD)’s claim that the Senate health care bill does not offer benefits until 2014. “We are entitled to our own opinions; we are not entitled to our own facts,” Franken asserted. “Benefits kick in right away.” He concluded : I stand ...

Al Franken is a voice of REASON and focused FACT based energy.....a needed voice in the Senate showing a CHARACTERISTIC all too often missing from those that are simply going to vote NO....The NO voting people don't need to be informed, they don't have to read things like the health care bill because they have decided well ahead of time, come hell or high water, no matter the results.....they ...

This was before Al became Senator--probably while still on AA doing his radio show. But nice to see he slices though the selfishness of this, whatever its called. http://www.theforumchannel.tv/player.aspx?forumid= 2&vidid=22&vidtype=Clip&&cliptag=forum_family_favo rites

Tim Kedrowski said his motion-activated camera captured this image of a black creature, about seven feet tall, striding through a stand of trees on his land near Leech Lake. Tim Kedrowski and his sons, Peter and Casey, are not pushovers for Bigfoot stories, but a frame on a game trail camera set up on their hunting land north of Remer has left them in a quandary. "To us, it's ...
