Are you ready for a former professional comedian as U.S. Senator? You may as well be, because the Minnesota Supreme Court has confirmed that Al Franken was the winner of the election in that state. You remember? There was an election w-a-a-a-y back in November? Franken's move to the Senate will give the Democrats 60 seats in that venerable body, although it's not as big an advantage as you'd think, if recent tiffs between liberals and centrists in the party are any indication. Franken will be among the most liberal senators, and by far the funniest (unless you really start thinking about Larry Craig again, but that's another type of funny).
