Meanwhile, in Minnesota ...

It's been, what, seven weeks since the generals in the States, and they're STILL counting the ballots in the state where the Vikings allegedly landed a thousand years ago. They took a break over the weekend because poll officials said they were exhausted (who wouldn't be?). But the disputed votes should be settled by tomorrow, and comedian Al Franken is saying that when all is said and done he expects to win by anywhere from 35-50 votes.

That's a pretty bold prediction, even if it's more conservative than the 75-80 vote lead most observers have it at right now. Who knows who will come out on top when it's really all over, after court challenges and such. Of course, if Franken really does win, it's only a matter of time before we see Sen. --- Jerry Springer. He was the mayor of Cincinnati, after all.
