It's Official -- Franken marks the end of sanity

Perhaps it's also a signal that the world will be ending soon. Minnesota is unique in its total absence of shame or, at least, embarrassment at being a joke. Franken is to senator as Obama is to anarchist.

Of course, in America, Franken as senator is not unusual, seeing as how we have a little of everything -- from Gay parades in San Francisco, Calif. to snake handlers in Ludowici, Ga. We are an open society which, despite hangovers from the Victorian Age, allows the loony amoral with the uptight and righteous. 

However, Franken as senator is a black mark against Democracy and a point for Plato's Republic -- or it could just mean the political realm is meaningless. However, if clowns like Barney "Pork Diddy" Frank can stay in the political realm long term, why not Franken as senator? It's about time this self-important group of blowhards was brought down a notch. And who's more qualified to bring their presitige down than Franken?

As a libertarian, I take this as a positive sign that a limited government can't be far off.
