The stars still say a decision in the Norm Coleman-Al Franken Senate dispute will come June 14 (with signs that Franken will be seated July 7), according to a knowledgeable astrologer. But a Minnesota Supreme Court spokesman says the court’s ruling won’t come down that day — because it’s a Sunday.
Astrologer Terry Lamb had allowed that the fact that Monday, June 15 was a more reasonable date for a court decision to be announced when she first charted the conflict using Franken’s exact time of birth.
But until the St. Paul Pioneer Press learned that the order would come during weekday business hours, anything seemed possible. Indeed, the court’s spokesman told the Minnesota Independent earlier this week that he expected the Coleman-Franken decision at any time and that the court would not wait for an official occasion like its regular announcement time at 10 a.m. Thursdays.
If all goes according to the celestial signals, Franken would be in office in time to participate in hearings, as he has pledged to do, on the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court, now set to begin in committee on July 13.

All I have to say is, pass me whatever it is you are smoking. I don’t care what date it happens and I want Franken in, but this sounds like some ’60’s LSD jive, babies!

You’re basing another story on astrology?! Geez, sometimes it’s so embarrassing to be a liberal. Even we have our kooks.

Seriously, people. This is the 21st Century. Why does anyone with half a brain take astrology seriously? And why do newspapers pay any lip-service to it? It’s as ridiculous as believing in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or a Bearded Old Man in the Clouds who needs you to believe in his dead son in order to atone for the mistakes he made when he created the world 6,000 years ago.
Enough with the fairy tales. Consult the Minnesota Supreme Court Clerk’s calendar. That will give you a much better idea of what will happen when.
