It was reported today that Al Franken has been named the official court jester to King Obama and His Royal Court, much to the dismay of many plebes throughout the realm. The cause for such dismay is not so much political as a matter of aesthetic taste. Many feel that the caustic Mr. Franken, while certainly cartoonish and funny-looking, is simply not, in fact, very funny (in spite of his life-long career as a so-called comedian). Polling data gathered earlier today show that the majority of serfs as well as most merchants and aristocrats believe that the king’s previous court jester, Joe Biden, is much funnier and overwhelmingly more entertaining than the sour dullard Franken. At this time when the kingdom faces grave perils at home and abroad, when we all long for a little levity, for anything to distract us from the morose, Joe’s renegade antics and goofy ejaculations will sorely be missed. Alas, we've now been bequeathed the toxic Al Franken who may not be funny but is certainly a joke.
