Actually, I am. The man is just not all there and has the look of someone who will sleep with his eyes open. Have you ever encountered a person who sleeps with their eyes open? No? Well, I have. The first presentation I ever had to give before a BOD's, the CTO was also the son of the owner (founder) of the company. He grew up with a platinum spoon in his mouth and was a very nice man but just a peg off all the time. During this presentation I kept getting distracted by him because he was sitting there and all I could see were the whites of his eyes! Let me tell you, it was distracting. Afterwards, my co-workers (in glee I might add) asked me how things went? Of course I started to tell them about the whites of his eyes and they were already laughing. Seems they knew about this condition of his (sleeping with his eyes open) and purposely didn't inform me cause they thought it would be a good joke. Yeah - some joke. It actually was pretty funny and if I hadn't so nervous during the presentation I might have seen the humor at the time.

So, now Minnesota has a Senate seat wide open for all. Let's see who is going to run? hmmm. Maybe Al Franken (yeah - that would be fun), Jesse Ventura (more fun cause it won't be so easy for him this time around with the blogs), Mike Ceresi (the tobacco baron attorney) and then we have Republicans. Maybe Rod Grahams (former Senator defeated by Dayton), Mark Kennedy (current Rep), Tim Pawlenty (Governor), Brian Sullivan (hmmm, now Brian I certainly wouldn't mind).
