Minnesota, Eh?

The Minnesota recount is the kind of election that people will be writing books about for years to come.* With half of the vote recounted, there's just 136 votes standing between American and Senator Al Franken.

And if you're looking for a good laugh--or possibly a good cry--check out this NPR story about some of the "challenged ballots" in this race. Let me say this: I am in favor of automatically disqualifying the ballot of whoever wrote in "Lizard People" for president. In fact, I am in favor of automatically disqualifying them from voting ever again.

*Possible Title: "To Be Perfectly Franken," assuming, of course, that Franken wins. I'm afraid I can't think of an equivalent pun for Coleman.
