I am friends with many. I just don't understand the vehemence that I find on Michael's blog. Michael, himself, isn't unpleasant and can actually hold a conversation with a Democrat without ire. Disagreeing over policy, over candidates, over views of the world is one thing. Being unable to speak to other human beings because they may not agree with you is altogether another thing.

LOL! It was an <i>Al Franken</i> event! It was inherently pure BS. A bunch of disingenious, power hungry Democrat women selling out their ilk to protect their spot on the ladder. The cold-hearted, power hungry justifications those Democrat women must have spun for themselves to enable them to keep their gorges in place as they sang Al "Porn-O-Rama" Franken's praises is beyond comprehension. You say a woman had a sour look on her face? Well dear, maybe that's because she hadn't forgotten she <i>was a woman</i>. Devils? No. That doesn't quite describe them, does it? “If she smiled and actually made eye contact with anyone, she might have found that Democrats aren’t devils.”

How exactly can you call two weeks notice hasty, or see it as an indicator of melt down mode? Just because they didn't personally invite MDE doesn't mean they didn't invite the legitimate media. And I don't know about you, but I like the idea of having a senator like Al Franken who sees problems coming, rather than a guy like Norm Coleman, who won't even admit to mistakes once they have occurred. To wit: Q: “Based on what you know now, was your support for the war then wrong?” A: "Um, No" So, two weeks ago, the Franken campaign became so convinced that the Star Tribune was going to run an opinion piece that is likely to cause more insomnia than public debate, that they called a press conference to refute it’s findings?
