Air America Comes To Austin

Al Franken, speaking at SXSW, just announced that Air America has gone live on KOKE 1600 AM here in Austin. He also talked about the very good chance that he'd be running for a senate seat in Minnesota in 2008. The word is unofficial, obviously, but Mr. Franken said that his wife may have just bought a condo in Minnesota so that they can establish residency.

Exciting news for liberals everywhere, though especially those living in Minnesota, where they exclusively elect didactic celebrities to public office.
