If BK is from MN then why does Wikipedia say it started in and is based in Florida? Maybe you’re thinking of DQ.

Thanks for comments. True about the BK/MN connection, but I’m not sure if that’s why that national franchisee organization backs him so heavily. Actually I had a call into them that was returned this morning … now waiting for a higher-up to call back. I’ll ask whether BK’s roots in Minnesota are at work.

Jeez, I can’t believe I’m defending Norm but Burger King DID originate in the Twin Cities so that connections not too hard to figure out.

Make Norm no less sleazy, but that one contribution does make sense.

Can’t allow those minimum wage fast food workers to organize for better wages or working conditions. No sir. Can’t allow them to ask for benefits.

I find it interesting that Norm has landed in the Urban Dictionary. Congratulations, former Senator Coleman for the following entry:

Term: Norm Coleman

Definition: The dogged pursuit of a hopeless goal, with utter disregard for a preponderance of contradicting evidence and mounting public disdain.
