    Back in 1979 or 1980 when he was a featured cast member on SNL Franken did an editorial about what the 1980s should be called. The 1970s we widely called The Me Decade and Franken came out arguing that the 1980s should be called The Al Franken Decade. Everybody was supposed to do everything with Al Franken in mind. It was a really funny bit.
