Writer, satirist and all-around smart aleck Al Franken has finally won his prolonged fight for election to the United States Senate.
Woe is us.
1) The Culture of Death under the leadership of B.O. now has a filibuster-proof majority.
2) Minnesota has elected a virulently anti-Catholic man as their senator.
What do I mean?
Here is just a a short list of some of Franken's anti-Catholic history from the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph's Catholic Key:
• He has mocked the Eucharist
• He has ridiculed the crucifixion of Jesus
• He has slandered all priests as molesters
• He has belittled practicing Catholics (e.g., Knights of Columbus)
• He has disparaged the Church’s teaching on embryonic stem cell research
• He made crude jokes about a dying woman, Terri Schiavo, and then misrepresented her condition by passing her off as "already dead."
• Franken also addressed a New York audience on the topic of that city's late, great archbishop asking, "Isn't Cardinal O'Connor an a**hole?"
Nice stuff.
What can we do about it? Prayer and fasting for a start. The worst evils are yet to come.

Not surprising to hear such comments in a liberal culture!
I didn't even know Farrah Fawcett was Catholic and then I saw it on the news! Was she practicing?
She may not have been a good Catholic in terms of certain aspects of her life, but she was practicing. She received Last Rites when she died, and my mom, a cancer survivor, was just telling me about how Fawcett talked about how important her Catholic faith was to her in dealing with her suffering, and how she wanted her suffering to be an example to others. And she always said the Rosary during chemo and had her rosary with her during a TV interview they watched.
As for Al Franken, here's the good news: unless they successfully change the Constitution, we're only a year and a half from the next election.
When was the last time a president had a fillibuster proof majority?
Carter.
Thanks for the clarification on Farrah. It just seems a lot of celebrities are Catholic INO until they are on their death bed. RIP Farrah.
Let me guess, Franken won the Catholic vote
Franken did win the Catholic vote. I was one of the Catholics who voted for him because I have met him many times and truly believe he is a good man who can do the most good for our state. I am pro-life but I am not going to be a one issue voter, when there is noone in the congress who wants to stand up against abortion anyway.
