“Its hard to believe that they same state that can generate the humor and good sense of James Lileks also gave us this bitter loon.”
Was this meant to be a pun? We have lots of loons in Minnesota, it is our state bird. :)
Believe me, there are more of us who love James Lileks than there are Franken fans, and I'm pretty sure that the people who do say they like Franken don't vote.
No dig on Minnesota intended, here in Michigan we have to live with the shame of spawning Michael Moore and Madonna. At least Madonna has left the hemisphere.
