It's nice to see Al Franken being seated as a U.S. Senator. Many will recall that I used to work for Sen. Paul Simon, whom then comedian Al Franken portrayed in SNL skits most notably spoofs on the Clarence Thomas hearings. Paul would have loved to seen this day and I'm sure he would have referenced his dear friend the late Sen. Paul Wellstone, the very seat Franken now holds. It's weird how everything ties in together. It was also Sen. Simon who first introduced me to then state senator Barack Obama in 2002, where I would later go work. You were a good man Paul. God you were a good man.
