The guy is a nerd’s nerd, man.
I dunno what’s more disturbing – that that comes as such as a surprise to her (like the non-barbarous manners Bill O’Reilly observed in a Harlem restaurant), or that she assumes it matters.
Considering how viciously Obama’s been demonized by the rabid right, I’m not at all surprised that grandma would be shocked, shocked to discover he’s hornless and depitchforked.
Saddened, but not at all surprised.
Whereas I spent the entire election cycle rebutting and discrediting my mother’s Fox News bullshit. :rolleyes:
Damn, Dio, now I’d like to see some smartass reporter stick a microphone in Coleman’s face and ask how it feels to lose to both a Professional Wrestler and a Carpetbagging Comedian. That’d be pure gold.
Speaking of being a nerd’s nerd, it’s as good a time as any to revisit Randall Munroe’s homage to Nate in the mouse-over of this xkcd.
I wonder what Coleman does next if he losses this one. He could wait four years and run for Klobuchar’s seat, but she would likely crush him. In fact, I have a hard time thinking of any Republican who would want to go up against her.
I think Pawlenty will walk away from the governor’s office as he can’t risk losing that race because it would kill his presidential ambitions. I could see Coleman making another run for governor.
Well 27 was what he predicted actually, but the count is not final and will probably result in more votes for Franken.
I suggest pistols at 20 paces.
I’m guessing he’ll be done - at least as an elected official. He’ll be a very powerful lobbyist if he chooses, or he could become a professor at the Humphrey Institute in a second.
I’m trying to imagine who he could lose to next…
A quick google for famous Minnesotans … how about Bob Dylan? John Madden? Too bad Winona Ryder has a record…
I think Coleman’s ego is too big to let him walk away just yet. I’d put my money on him taking another shot at Governor. I just wonder what other novelty candidate will then crawl out the woodwork to snatch it from him yet again – a porn star, maybe? Or a rapper?
Coleman could probably lose to the Pillsbury Doughboy (who is a native Minneapolitan, after all). Doughboy would fit elucidator’s criteria…white-bread, at least.
And I’ve got just the pistol. The Taurus Judge. Five shots, handles either .45 colt rounds or .410 shells. Three inch .410 rounds hold…I think it was 6 or 7 000 buckshot. Those are .36 (36 caliber) 70 grain shot.
Can’t link to it, unfortunately, because it’s filtered at work, where I’m posting from.
Or to a can of Spam (also solidly and respectably Minnesotan).
I did so enjoy the spectacle of a Hall of Fame defensive lineman issuing a legal opinion regarding a “Saturday Night Live” writer. Pity there’s no longer a pro wrestler there to oversee the counting, though.
Whatever happens, we can all thank Minnesota for adding entertainment to our electoral process.
As is canned, creamed corn.
Cream of mushroom soup. The sine qua non of Minnesota, ah, cuisine.
The virtue being that it hides the stuff at the bottom of the hotdish really well…
Hey, my state has Hercules for a governor!
