The last bit of bad news from the very bad 2008 election is finally final today. The supposedly nice State of Minnesota has inflicted the resmugnant Al Franken on the United States Senate and on the rest of the country for the next six years. Norm Coleman conceded today after an adverse decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court, Brian Bakst reports for AP. Will Franken be the most insufferable, obnoxious, arrogant personality in that body? He's up against some stiff competition, but he's a contender.
