Al Franken appeared over the weekend at a the Minneapolis DFL Party's city convention, where he showed that he's coping with his unusual predicament in a manner that shouldn't be too surprising -- telling some pretty funny jokes:

"A lot of people here have been asking me, 'What do I call you?' And the answer to that is: 'Al,'" he said, with the audience applauding and yelling back his name. "There's only one person in the state who will have to call me 'Senator,' and that, of course, is [his wife] Franni."

"I want to thank you all," he followed up. "You know, when you win an election by 312 votes, there's not a lot of effort that goes to waste. We ran a very efficient campaign."
