Not another negative (and quite probably untrue) story like the ones we've heard over the past weeks.

Please read it, if you haven't already.

Wish every member of Congress had the heart of Al Franken. The world would be a much better place. "We" should ALL be ashamed!

he allegedly touched a woman without her expressed written consent. Apparently Democrats have a 'zero tolerance' policy in effect now, and he must be held responsible for something he may, or may not, have done. Accusations have been made, and that's good enough for some Democrats. This is the 21st Century, after all.
