Some People Call Him Maurice

I was just looking at a Drudgebart.tv.com-linked story about Minnesota blogger Michael Brodkorb, who exposed Al Franken’s tax and insurance problems. It’s good to see a blogger getting court protection as a journalist. That’s one of the things the story mentions. On the other hand, I am not particularly impressed by Franken’s screwups.

I’m no Franken fan. He’s not much of a humorist, and he’s annoying. But he claims he paid his taxes in the wrong state, and as for failing to pay workers’ comp. insurance, it’s embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as his movie. If the GOP is hoping to portray Stuart Smalley as a scofflaw, I think they’ve failed. He’s probably just a doofus who screws up when doing paperwork.

There are an infinite number of reasons to avoid even considering voting for Al Franken. The tax and insurance things are insignificant compared to his general craziness and his addiction to discredited socialist notions.

One reason TO vote for him: it will make Bill O’Reilly mad. This will make his show much more entertaining during the weeks or months it takes him to get over it. The lugubriousness of his pecksniffian bloviations will increase a hundredfold. Popinjays across the globe will tremble before his wrath. Much as they already do in his fantasies.

Maynard is on a roll over at The Answer Bird. Not literally “on a roll.” Such as a toasted roll with lots of sauteed onions. But he is posting again, and this time he is answering questions about sharia.

I have to go to the gun range and practice being bitter and hating immigrants, so I don’t have much time to write. You know how hard reading and writing are, for Bible-thumping Republicans. Especially Southerners. If only I had Stuart Smalley’s giant Yankee brain.

Guess that’s all.
