... and doggone it, the Strib just called it:

Franken up 225 with recount complete; focus turns to court
Norm Coleman's term as a U.S. senator ended at noon Washington time on Saturday, and by evening his hopes of winning a second term had been dealt an expected but serious setback as state officials counted previously rejected absentee ballots in St. Paul.

At least Franken isn't going to fall for this post-partisan bullshit.

He was out there with Krugman in the darkest days of the Bush regime. I'm glad he's won. Comedy is hard...

Before I clicked I was wary that Franken had started spewing that swill. Thanks for the teaser.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
