While Al Franken is continuously kicking ass at freehand cartography, Saxby Chambliss, Republican Senator from Georgia, struggles to tell us where the mountain rectangle should go. Perhaps this is the “real Georgia” that he represents? (National Geographic, via Wonkette)
One of the perks of being Senator of Minnesota is that you get to surround yourself with attractive women. I think it's in the state constitution or something.

The courts finds that “Al Franken received the highest number of votes legally cast and is entitled under Minn. Stat. § 204C.40 (2008) to receive the certificate of election as United States Senator from the State of Minnesota.” This means that when Franken is ultimately seated, the Democrats will have 60 seats and be able to beat any Republican foes.
The next ex-senator from Minnesota hasn't always been the conservative loser he is now. Or at least he used to have better hair.
Left-wing blogs and news sites are talking about about “al franken.” We’re tracking the latest headlines on this topic and update this page with links as they come in.
In honor of Al Franken's now-official victory in Minnesota, a vintage clip of the Senator prancing around like Mick Jagger. I never imagined that hip thrust could be a learned behavior.

With only a 225-vote lead after the weekend, many news outlets are asserting that the SNL veteran will be announced as winner of the Senatorial race.

In continuing Minnesota Senate Recount Madness, the Canvassing Board deemed “Lizard People” to be a real person, while a ballot for Brett Favre was judged a fake vote. This would be even funnier if the Lizard People didn't take a vote away from Franken, but still. Democracy at work!

America's favorite (and so far most accurate!) political statistician, Nate Silver, has predicted that Al Franken will win his recount by a mere 27 votes.
Politics Buzz A few Senate races have come to that most dreaded of political results: the recount. Norm Coleman leads funnyman Al Franken by only a few hundred votes in MN, and GA may require recounts as well. Alaska remains too close to call, which, regardless of outcome, means a felon was this close to retaining his Senate seat. So I think that overall, Alaska can really feel good about itself this election.
Stephen Baldwin, the mailman from Cheers, and a handful of actors I’ve never heard of want Minnesotans to think twice about electing Al Franken to the senate. The concern seems to be that he is hurting their reputation. Huh?
