Midwest Values Pac

I just went to a great show at the State Theater in Minneapolis. I've been to something like 15 different concerts in the last two years and none of them have inspired me more than the show tonight. It was put on by Al Franken's Midwest Values Pac organization which was set up last year to help benefit progressive candidates in the midwest. I know Al from his books and his radio show on Air America (too young to remember SNL, except for the look-in-the-mirror "I love myself" bit that Al is so famous for). He reunited with his old comedy partner Tom Davis tonight and I couldn't stop crying I was laughing so hard. My favorite guitar player, Leo Kottke played the twelve string guitar. This was the first time I've seen him live, and I couldn't lift my jaw up off the floor when he was done. Absolutely amazing.

I know most of us are sick and tired of politicians in general today, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or something entirely different. Al Franken is a man who speaks straight from his heart. There's no bullshit when it comes to this guy. I mean, he is really truly genuine. He is so passionate about what he believes in and he makes me feel so proud to be a Liberal in Minnesota. If you can, please donate any money you have laying around to Midwest Values Pac.
