1. Yeah, all the time. I know he suffers from migraines, too, which is pure hell, especially if you
are under stress, which I know he is.

I also know he is the kind of guy who likes to stay occupied and busy, and this must be killing him.

2. All the time. I keep wondering if he'll be paid for the time Norm is stealing from him.
It's not like Al is filthy rich.

3. Does he really WANT to be a Senator?
I haven't heard squat from him one way or the other. If the situation was reversed Coleman would be barging into the Senate demanding to be seated and the MSM would be asking if it was fair to keep the man from his job. Franken should go to DC, grab Harry Reid by his scrawny neck and tell him "Look motherfucker, I was legally elected. Now show me to my office, before I give you a mouth full of chiclets."

I hope Al is not just another wussy Democrat but I'm beginning to have my doubts.

5. Coleman has a right to appeal (I think he should just concede but he does have a right)

and Franken really can't do anything except let Coleman exercise his right. I don't get the Minnesota local news so I have no idea what Franken has been saying or not saying but no matter what he says he can't stop Coleman from exercising every legal route possible.

6. He should insist upon serving for six years once he's seated. It's only fair.
