Yeah.

I can top that. Easy.

TGRR,
Doesn't value the same things as you do.

TGRR, if you value anything a wise man would value, I hope you might tell us what that might be, instead of leaving us to guess.

When a man's been around the block four decades or so, he's got a pretty fair grasp of what the permanent things are.

I value Saturday night. Rock N Roll. FUN. This is why I support neither the Islamic whackjobs nor the American mainstream. None of you have any idea of how to have REAL fun, and most of you are out to stop ME from having MY fun.

I've been around for 40 years or so, and I haven't seen anything permanent.

I think TGRR makes it apparent what things he values, most of the time anyway.

Sure as a giant cocksucker.

Play is enjoyable, yes. And then...?

Not that I want to strip you of your fun; far from it, as you might see by scouring my posts for indications of any such toxicity.

AHA! There's your problem! You've never tried to find what is eternal -- or at least really, really long-term.

You gotta work to play. Problem is, this country forgot the latter. Probably because the first settlers were Puritan fucktards, and everyone seems to feel some need to emulate the humorless bastards.

In a hundred years, you'll be dead. Have fun now.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – A unanimous Minnesota Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Democrat Al Franken should be certified the winner of the state's long-running Senate race, paving the way for the former Saturday Night Live comedian to be seated after an almost eight-month fight.

The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining his Senate seat are dwindling, saying Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office.

"We affirm the decision of the trial court that Al Franken received the highest number of votes legally cast and is entitled under (Minnesota law) to receive the certificate of election as United States Senator from the State of Minnesota," the court wrote in its 5-0 ruling.

With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibusters.

Coleman hasn't ruled out seeking federal court intervention, and has 10 days before the ruling takes effect in which to point out any errors related to the court's interpretation of law, facts or material questions in the case.

The earliest Franken would be seated is next week because the Senate is out of session for the July 4 holiday, said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Reid said Pawlenty should respect the votes of his constituents and his state's highest court.

The election certificate also requires the signature of Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie. Ritchie, a Democrat, said he was ready to sign it "as soon as the governor issues it."

This should get interesting rather quickly - especially with the upcoming Cap and Trade vote and a few other pressing matters.

IIRC, Pawlenty was much less equivocal about certifying Franken regardless of a Federal appeal in his most recent statements, so it should be official pretty soon.

classicman · 06-30-2009, 02:40 PM

Yeh - for sure - This is a done deal - Pawlenty regurgitated the party line, but that dog won't hunt so he has been reduced to the reality of the situation.

Ya know though - This makes me wonder about every close election - heck all elections for that matter. It started out with Coleman winning and then every time they did a count they got a different number.

sugarpop · 06-30-2009, 03:10 PM

...and every count put Franken further in the lead...

All I can say is, it's about friggin' time.

Happy Monkey · 06-30-2009, 04:00 PM

It's over!

That was my point sugar - what the heck was the actual tally? The more they recount the more it changes. I'm not disputing the winner - that wasn't my point.
