If you so choose, here's some video of Al Franken being sworn in to the U.S. Senate by Vice President Joe Biden this afternoon, courtesy The Hill. Franken reportedly took the oath on a Bible that belonged to the family of the late Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-Minn.). The AP noted that 'the former Saturday Night Live performer and satirist offered no jokes, just a promise that he is "ready get to work."' After months and months of waiting, the new junior senator from the state of Minnesota officially gives the Democratic Party a crucial 60-seat Senate majority.



OK Dems....you have 60....can't do much more for you. Think you can show some backbone this time around? Hmm?
You might start by getting rid of Reid and Pelosi. Those wimps are giving away the store.
Or, you could just form the usual circular firing squad and blow it as usual.
Cynical? Yes, and deservedly so.
At least this will make C-SPAN more interesting!
