With the news that his nemesis, Al Franken, will become the junior Senator from Minnesota, the very least The BFI (Franken called him The Big Fat Idiot, but another F-word is more appropriate.) could do would be to hunker down in his radio studio and plunge a ritual short sword into his abdomen and move the sword left to right in a slicing motion. One advantage for The BFI: a LARGE abdomen and the slicing motion that ends up on the right side is a nice touch. However, the executor of The BFI's estate would have to find a plot that would accomodate Shamu (as the final resting place for The BFI). The BFI and all of his Dumbo fellow-travelers have lost face over and over again and Seppuku is the only honorable thing they can do. If this is a (fair & balanced) samurai fantasy, so be it. Bonzai!

"Other losers could learn a lot from him," the Ayatollah said. Ω
