Which has bugger-all to do with the subject at hand. If you want to bring up
one of your off-centre rants kindly do it on your own and not by attempting to
piggy-back it on a non-related thread.

I recall no serious claims or charges that Franken's election was fraudulent.
Long winded, dragged out past the point of reasonability by his opponent, yeah.
But, I can't recall any responsible charges of voter fraud. Certainly nothing
like Mayor Daley (the original) voting the graveyards.

All of which has bugger-all to do with the subject at hand. If you want to
bring up one of your off-centre rants kindly do it on your own and not by
attempting to piggy-back it on a non-related thread.

ENJOY!!!
