It’s getting stranger and stranger to chronicle our dealings with Al Franken.  One minute, according to Politico, he’s back writing skits for Saturday Night Live attacking John McCain; the next, he’s ducking us, or having his handlers run interference, on his support for EFCA and Death to Democracy.

Then again, maybe the Grim Reaper stalking Franken over his support for EFCA is more of a metaphor and explains Al’s renewed interest in SNL. 

By supporting the special interest EFCA and killing workplace democracy, Franken makes it more likely that he’ll be available for the SNL gig full-time come January.
