		<description>&lt;p&gt;Dear people of MN,&lt;br /&gt;
I have fought long and hard to get the senate seat from MN. I have tried every scam in the book and brought suit after suit. I have been repeatedly rebuffed by the courts of which I am not in the least embarrassed. Those clowns wouldn’t even let me disenfranchise my opponents voters. It is with much vindictiveness in my heart that I once again file a ridiculous suit in court so that you will not have half of your representation in the senate.&lt;br /&gt;
Disrespectfully,&lt;br /&gt;
Norm Coleman&lt;br /&gt;
473 hrs &amp; 9 min&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;or this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Further, if we the people were to organize as few as one hundred individuals in each major city we could effectively slow commerce to the point that it would break down entirely, all through peaceful means.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How?  Envision your local freeway; you, and three of your friends (four lanes each way, four drivers) line up parallel and then slow to a crawl (if you’re in “rush hour” traffic) or to 20mph if not.  Traffic would instantaneously snarl behind you and remain that way for hours.  Your risk?  A traffic ticket.  A few hundred dedicated people in each major city could very effectively demand that real reform take place and that all the fraudsters go to jail, refusing to stop their daily protest until it was done.  Again - a tiny fraction of one percent of the population of this nation could, through entirely-peaceful actions in protest, force a stop to this nonsense.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Where is the drumbeat in the media for Norm Coleman to concede?  Shouldn’t he concede to enable Minnesota to be fully represented when the 111th Congress convenes?  Isn’t he putting Minnesotans through needless agony as he draws out the challenges to the recount? Isn’t this going to result in a constitutional crisis?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Norm needs to concede — today!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;And then there’s this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Madoff is not what it appears to be.  At best Madoff is a 20+ year scam that occurred with not only the intentional blindness of our government but its explicit assistance and cooperation.  It is simply not possible for one man to run a Ponzi Scheme of this size, sending out statements every month to hundreds if not thousands of clients and employing a group of people, moving this amount of money around, and have the entire thing be a scam without the cooperation of literally hundreds of accomplices including accomplices inside regulatory agencies and the government itself, along with regulated entities including the banks that lost money.  You cannot place that sort of capital as a bank or other regulated entity on nothing more than “trust” - no matter who its being placed with.  There is much, much more to this scandal and you can bet the people involved will do their level-best damndest to keep the truth from coming out.  Never mind the fact that explicit warnings were transmitted to the SEC.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Coleman is a real embarrassment and typical of a republican, corrupt, stupid, narcissistic and usually involved in criminal schemes of one sort or another.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
