Comedian Al Franken makes Minnesota Senate bid (http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN1432928520070215)

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Comedian and political commentator Al Franken ended a three-year stint as a talk radio host by announcing on Wednesday he will seek the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Minnesota Republican Norm Coleman.

"I'm not a professional politician. I know I'm going to make some mistakes and this is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done," the 55-year-old Harvard graduate said as he closed the final broadcast of "The Al Franken Show."

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. I wasn't able to find anything regarding his stance on cannabis.

I e-mailed him for his view on Pot, so I'll get back here with the answer as soon as I get it.
