Mainly because of a bad night. Trouble getting to sleep and staying there.
Cool shot of the Louisiana State Capitol Building.
About today's QOTD: It's Steve Largent talking about Al Franken. Largent was a fantastic wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. Don't know much about his record at his stint as Congressman.

Quote of the Day
He's got work to do as a legislator, but he doesn't need to hide from his former career. I think he needs to view it as an asset, not a liability.

Quote from said blog: "We imagine that her dalliance with Marilyn Manson certainly won't hurt her ability to get into character as the "Vampire Queen of Louisiana," which is easily the greatest region-specific character description we've heard since Ferris Bueller passed himself off as the "Sausage King of Chicago.""

Whoa on that pic. Jindal doesn't have a laboratory up there, does he?
The issue to me is not Franken's former career(s), it's some of the nasty and utterly insane things he has said during them. Subjective stuff, to be sure.
"Jindal doesn't have a laboratory up there, does he?"
Well, that depends. Some might consider his elective office a laboratory. :)
I didn't think much of Franken as a comedian, Dave. Don't think much of him as a senator, either.
