Al Franken on Wellstone and King Memorials

As I recall, as it split conversation in my house, the Wellstone Memorial was criticized because former Speaker "Newt" Gingrich (and cunning Republican linguist, maybe they should have added "Navaho 2 cents" to their lexicon) was not invited or something to that effect. The "Mississippi Half Step" (vs. "Two steps forward one step back" the first, or "former" the "Grateful Dead" band's opening number on April Fool's Eve when they played the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo, NY on 3/31/1973, the second, or "latter", a summary of the USSR's national history circulated in the 1960's, and a song's refrain I've been hearing from "The Boss" Bruce Springstein) hopefully will not be the outcome of all this political "putsch" by missing billions in cash maybe distributed to our "successors" by "Custers Battles". Live from Washington, D.C. it's a Saturday night massacre! That would be two steps backwards! "Mind your business or your business will mind you." - Benny Franklin (?)
