Lance Armstrong Hints at the Possibility of Politics in His Future After Cycling
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsLance Armstrong is an American superhero, at least worthy of the same status as Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger, so, really, it should come as no surprise that when he gets finished slaughtering the competition riding in the 2009 Tour de France, he may consider a career in politics.And although 2010 may be too soon to see Lance run (I can't wait for the political "ride" puns), he's at least interested/concerned, based on a recent interview with Mark McKinnon in The Daily Beast.Is there a future for Lance Armstrong in politics? If you feel like you can do the job better than people who ...

Al Franken Is No Jesse 'The Body'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe New York Times has a profile of Al Franken's Senate bid today, and they ask the question, "Is Al Franken's Run For Senate a Serious One?" I'm paraphrasing, of course. The real headline is "Comedian Says Minnesota Run is a Serious One." I'm assuming Franken doesn't just accost random reporters and shout, "My Minnesota Run is a Serious One!" I note the headline because they also refer to Franken as a "comedian." Franken is many things, but I wouldn't call him a comedian. He's mainly a writer and a humorist who enjoys the performer's pay grade, just as LL Cool J is a rapper who also does ...
