Minnesota Senate election recount results. Franken's picked up a handful of votes.

It's a little scary with margins like that... the opportunity for foul play is so ripe.

Minnesota has a county named "Yellow Medicine"? What, did they just run out of names?

Better "Yellow Medicine" than "Yellow Snow".

It was originally named "The Yellow Menace Will be the Undoing of the White Man, Beware the Bloated Opiate Fiends of the Far East," but was renamed in 1996 when some damn liberal got all pissy about it being "un-PC."

That's better and more acceptable in polite company than what I was thinking, sure. Let's say that.

I know what you're thinking, and I think you're mistaking "Yellow Medicine" with "Golden Tonic," out in Iowa, which was originally known as ... well, anyway.

There are folks for both sides watching this whole process like a hawk. Also, there is a paper trail for every ballot cast in that state. This is going to be the fairest election in the history of elections, when it comes down to it.

Makes me proud to be from Minnesota.

Hopefully Al starts picking up more votes as this goes on; at the rate he's gotten votes so far, he's going to fall short.

I wonder how long this has to drag on before one side has spent more on monitoring the recount, bringing lawsuits, and holding press conferences than they did campaigning.
