Did not Sen. Fraken portray the late senator for IL, Paul Simon at times through the years, especially when Mr. Simon made a run for the presidency? Or am I completely mistaken on this, as I am on many things.

Shane, you are correct. Here's a link to the transcript of the skit you recalled, which includes a photo of now-Senator Franken's portrayal of then-Senator Simon.

thanks methuselah, that was some fine reading. What a fun cast ... I think Apollo Creed as Jesse Jackson would have been great, it read great and I'm sure seeing it again would be great.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Capricorn

Someone is in a finger-wagging mood and unfortunately they seem to be concentrating on you! Maybe they think you've fallen from grace for some reason, or perhaps you're simply the only person who happens to be around when they feel like letting off steam. Do your best not to fall into an equally critical and disgruntled mood, because it will soon make you feel wretched.
