After 7 long months, Al Franken was declared the winner of Minnesota’s 2nd Senate seat today.
I’m disappointed in the results out of Minnesota–and in the interest of being polite, I’ll end my comments about the results themselves there. It is fitting, however, to call my readers’ attention to something that Sen. Norm Coleman said earlier [...]

Silvio Berlusconi is in town to meet with President Obama today and discuss the possibility of Italy taking a few Guantanamo detainees, as well as economic recovery, Afghanistan and Iran, according to the AP.
